Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 record.
Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the tying score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning score.
