Tight end Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
