Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
