Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seattle now lead 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.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
