Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
