Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
