Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
