Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to overcome the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Game Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two scoring throws, including the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at the break before Walker broke free for a long touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for 56 yards, setting up a short score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
