Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming 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 become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
