Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.

Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive score.
