Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
