Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason 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.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
