Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.

Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point play for Seattle.

Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, securing their spot in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.

While the Rams had become the first to earn a post-season berth earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year absence.

With this outcome, the Seahawks now lead their division's standings with a 12-3 record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the fifth seed with an eleven and four standing.
