Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
