Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short score 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 Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
