Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
