Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their spot in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had become the first to earn a playoff spot earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a two-year hiatus.
With this result, the Seahawks now lead their Conference standings with a 12-3 record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.
Game Highlights
Quarterback Sam Darnold had two interceptions but recovered to make two touchdown passes, culminating in the second score to star receiver Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a 13-7 advantage at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles defensive back Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard score by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the final stanza, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua pushed the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the hope with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion forced the game into an extra period.
Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
