Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
