Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
