Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
