The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams faced off in a crucial game for NFC West supremacy on Thursday night, and the game featured one of the weirdest scoring plays of the year.
Seattle was down two touchdowns, but came back to tie the game with a few huge plays in the fourth quarter. One of those plays was a two-point conversion that featured a strong Rams defensive play, but resulted in good luck for Seattle.
This play allowed the Seahawks to operate in a tied game instead of down two as every point is crucial this time of the year. Here's a breakdown of the bizarre two-point conversion.
Seahawks two-point conversion, explained
After being down 16 points, the Seahawks came all the way back to tie the game at 30-30 late in the 4th quarter. The two game-tying points, specifically, came on a wacky two-point conversion.
On the play, Darnold tried to throw a screen pass to Zach Charbonnet, but the ball was tipped and initially ruled incomplete. However, on further review, Darnold's pass was determined to be a backwards pass, making it anincomplete pass instead a fumble.
Since Charbonnet picked the ball up in the end zone, the play counts as a fumble recovery, awarding the Seahawks two points in the process.
The most ridiculous two-point conversion ever results in the Seahawks tying it up vs the Rams.

In such an important game, a matter of inches was the difference between a successful and failed two-point conversion, just in a different way than usual.
