Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.

- Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the overtime score.
- The young star tops the league with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
