Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
