Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
