Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
