Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
