Receiver Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
