Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Tight end Eric Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seahawks secured their place to the postseason after a two-year hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.

Rams cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
