Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
