Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
