Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.

- Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted ninety-six receiving yards and the crucial touchdown.
- The young star tops the NFL with over 1,500 receiving yards for the campaign.
