Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
