Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, 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 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
