Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team 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 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into an extra period.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
