Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
