Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.

- Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six yards and the crucial touchdown.
- The 23-year-old now leads the league with over 1,500 yards for the season.
