Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
