Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point play for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, clinching their place in the NFL play-offs.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the final period, the Seattle squad triumphed 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight win.
