Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
