Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 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 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
