Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

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

Game Highlights

Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
