Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
