Seattle Seahawks Punch Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Rams.
Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.

Rams defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to sixteen points, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in overtime, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
