Seahawks Punch Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
