Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle engineered a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

Action Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the tying score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The Rams held a six-point advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III burst through for a 55-yard scoring dash for Seattle.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then took back Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a one-yard touchdown by Corum on the next play.
In the final stanza, a scoring pass from Stafford to Puka Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's comeback with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the end zone, and a converted two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his another touchdown in OT, Jaxon Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
