Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
