Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks 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 Sunday, the Seattle team secured their place to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.
With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Los Angeles, who dropped to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four record.
