Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
