Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
