Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
