Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 hole in the final period, the Seattle squad emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive victory.

Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, culminating in the second TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, setting up a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the decisive conversion.
