Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
