Receiver Saubert executed the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

Game Highlights
Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but recovered to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime.
The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a long touchdown run for the home side.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's first interception for a big return, setting up a short score by Blake Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided the hope with a spectacular punt return.
Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a successful conversion forced the game into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the decisive conversion.
