Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
