Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
