Seattle Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

Action Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
