Seattle Seahawks Secure Play-off Berth with Nail-biting Extra Time Triumph over Rams.
Receiver Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.
