Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
