Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
