Seahawks Punch Postseason Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight victory.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five playoff position with an 11-4 standing.
Action Recap
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but recovered to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

Rams defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a converted conversion sent the game into an extra period.
