Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

Rams defensive back Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.

Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
