Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
