Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
