Tight end Eric Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for Seattle.
The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning fightback to defeat the Rams in overtime, clinching their place in the postseason.
Overcoming a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
