Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Recap
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
