🔗 Share this article Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams. Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle. Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs. Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win. While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus. With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing. Game Highlights Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period. The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle. Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap. In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score. Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion. Key Stats Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the crucial touchdown. The young star tops the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season. Puka Nacua is second with 1,367, after claiming a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 catches in this game.
