Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
Seattle staged a remarkable comeback to overcome the Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight win.
