Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.

- Smith-Njigba posted 96 yards and the crucial touchdown.
- The 23-year-old now leads the NFL with 1,541 yards for the season.
