Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.
