Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
