Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
