Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.

Action Highlights

Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.

In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.

Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
