đź”— Share this article Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Rams. Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks. The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason. Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory. While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus. With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing. Game Recap Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period. The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle. Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap. In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score. Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion. Key Performances Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with 1,541 yards for the campaign. Nacua is second with 1,367, after claiming a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on 12 receptions in this contest.
