Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
