Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
