Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff berth earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
