Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
