Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks 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 the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
