Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time 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 place in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

- Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
- The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with over 1,500 yards for the campaign.
