Tight end Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.

Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the final period, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, notching their fifth straight win.

Rams cornerback Wallace then took back Darnold's initial interception for a big return, leading to a one-yard touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.
In the fourth quarter, a scoring pass from Matthew Stafford to Nacua pushed the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed ignited Seattle's hope with a 58-yard punt return.
Darnold then found AJ Barner in the endzone, and a successful two-point play forced the contest into overtime.
Although Nacua raced in for his another touchdown in OT, Smith-Njigba answered in kind to set up the decisive score.
