Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
