Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
