Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

Game Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two interceptions but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
