Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable comeback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the play-offs after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four record.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
