Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a spectacular punt return.
