Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Los Angeles had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the play-offs after a two-year absence.
With this outcome, the Seattle now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an eleven and four record.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
