Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Overtime Victory over Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.

In the final stanza, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
