Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a remarkable 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 Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their division's race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.
Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
