Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
