Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.

- Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
- The young star now leads the league with 1,541 yards for the campaign.
