Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
