Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had already secured a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their Conference race with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an 11-4 standing.

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
