Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stunning fightback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their spot in the postseason.
Overcoming a sixteen-point hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed 38-37 at home, notching their fifth consecutive win.
While the Rams had already secured a post-season berth earlier on game day, the Seattle team booked their return to the play-offs after a 24-month absence.
With this result, the Seahawks have taken over their division's standings with a twelve and three record, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth playoff position with an eleven and four standing.
Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold had two picks but recovered to make two scoring throws, including the tying score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long scoring dash for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's initial pick for a big return, leading to a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited the comeback with a 58-yard return for a score.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion sent the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his second TD in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
