Tight end Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
