Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point play for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.

Game Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for Seattle.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace then took back Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the contest into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
