Tight end Saubert executed the decisive two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, notching their fifth straight win.
