Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
