Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
