Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

With this result, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive score.
