Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
