Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead 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 record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning score.

- Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six yards and the overtime score.
- The young star tops the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season.
