Tight end Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an eleven and four record.
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
