Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.

Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.

With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.

Although Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
