Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
