Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.

With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference standings with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
