Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Overtime Victory over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seattle squad triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.

Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
