Seahawks Secure Postseason Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second TD to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
