Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
