Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
