Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
