Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
