Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
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 absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
