Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in the extra period

Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.

Game Recap

Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.

Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
