Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by 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 Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
