Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.

Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion sent the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
