Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
