Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome 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 emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, 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 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
