Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
