Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.
Game Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
