Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
