Tight end Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks. The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs. Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory. While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus. With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record. Action Highlights Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime. The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side. Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play. In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return. Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into an extra period. Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion. Notable Performances Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the overtime touchdown. The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign. Nacua is second with 1,367 yards, after claiming a career-high two hundred twenty-five receiving yards on 12 receptions in this game.
