Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
