Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
