Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
