Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the contest into an extra period.
Although Nacua scored for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning score.
