Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up 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 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
