Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at half-time before Walker burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his second touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
