Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
