🔗 Share this article Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams. Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle. Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs. Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory. While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence. With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record. Action Highlights Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime. The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle. Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick 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 Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score. Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime. Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion. Key Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign. Nacua is runner-up with 1,367, after claiming a personal-best two hundred twenty-five yards on twelve catches in this game.
