Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.

- Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with 96 receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
