Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.

- Smith-Njigba posted 96 receiving yards and the overtime score.
- The 23-year-old tops the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the season.
