Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
