đź”— Share this article Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams. Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle. The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason. Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win. While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence. With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record. Game Recap Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period. The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side. Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play. In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime. Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion. Key Stats Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season. Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, after claiming a career-high 225 yards on 12 catches in this contest.
