π Share this article Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams. Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle. Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason. Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win. While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence. With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing. Action Highlights Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period. The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle. Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap. In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return. Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period. Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion. Key Performances Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score. The young star now leads the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign. Nacua is second with 1,367, adding a personal-best 225 yards on twelve receptions in this contest.
