Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.

Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
