Seattle Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back 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 touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular return for a score.
