Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.

- Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial score.
- The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the season.
