Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

- Smith-Njigba finished with 96 yards and the crucial score.
- The young star now leads the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
