Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
