Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
