Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive score.
