Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month absence.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Game Recap
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
