Receiver Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
