Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
