Receiver Eric Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
