Decisive play in overtime

Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to overcome the Rams in overtime, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.
