Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Game Recap
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
