Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
