Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching 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 play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
