Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
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 postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 record.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
