Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
