Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
