Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
