Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.
Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
