Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to overcome the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

With this outcome, the Seahawks have taken over their Conference standings with a 12-3 mark, replacing the Rams, who fell to the number five seed with an eleven and four standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Sam Darnold had two picks but recovered to deliver two scoring throws, culminating in the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Walker broke free for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's initial pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with AJ Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another TD in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning score.
