Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
