Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Recap
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
