Imagn Images<\/span><\/p>\n The Seattle Seahawks tied the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth quarter off one of the strangest plays you’ll ever see … and yet another reminder to play through the whistle.<\/p>\n Down 30-28 with 6:23 left in regulation, following Sam Darnold’s touchdown pass to A.J. Barner, Jared Verse tipped away Darnold’s screen pass to Zach Charbonnet on Seattle’s two-point conversion attempt.<\/p>\n At least, that’s what it looked like.<\/p>\n However, replays showed Darnold’s pass was actually a backward pass and because Charbonnet picked the ball up in the end zone and the whistle hadn’t blown, it counted as a two-point conversion. Replays clearly show the ball was traveling backward from between where Darnold released it and Verse tipped it away.<\/p>\n Charbonnet’s seemingly nonchalant action ended up being a huge shift.<\/p>\n The Seahawks were down 30-14 just moments before this touchdown, but Rashid Shaheed took a punt back 58 yards, the Seattle defense forced a three-and-out, and then Darnold led a quick touchdown drive. Then this play happened, completing a wild sequence that tied things up.<\/p>\n “Very interesting,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “Didn’t get a clear explanation of everything that went on just because of some of the timing of it … [I’ve] never seen or never been a part of anything like that.”<\/p>\n The was the last score of the fourth quarter, but far from the final twist in an overall wild game. After missing a late field goal, the Rams scored first in overtime and kicked an extra point to go up 37-30. The Seahawks answered right back with a touchdown of their own and then converted the game-winning two-point conversion — this one a much more traditional pass play from Darnold to Eric Saubert.<\/p>\n The Seahawks had been down 30-14 in the fourth quarter but converted three two-point conversions — the first one a Darnold pass to Cooper Kupp — to aid in the remarkable comeback. In the process, Seattle became the just the eighth team to convert three two-point conversions in a single game and the first since the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. Furthermore, the Seahawks became the first team ever to win a game on an overtime two-point conversion, and they also slid into the driver’s seat in the race for the top spot in the NFC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Imagn Images The Seattle Seahawks tied the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth quarter off one of the strangest plays you’ll ever see … and yet another reminder to play through the whistle.
