Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Game Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, including the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
