Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Receiver 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 NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited 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 game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.

- Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
