Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
