Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a sixteen-point deficit in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.

Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
