Sam Darnold challenges Seahawks

Seattle was on the lucky end of a strange play that forced overtime and helped them take over No. 1 seed in the NFC.
At that point Darnold had thrown two interceptions and no touchdowns and was getting mercilessly mocked on Twitter for not the first time in his career. Even Seahawks great Bruce Irvin joined in.
Darnold was unraveling, and Rams players were laughing. "They thought it was over," Ernest Jones IV said. But Seattle got the last laugh.
Naturally, fans were in awe of the play, especially after seeing the alternate angle and slow-motion version. In the clip, it was clear how Darnold sent the ball perfectly to Saubert, just a little to the side of the head of Rams defensive end Kobie Turner and above the defending Seahawks guard Grey Zabel.
The Seahawks took an early 7-0 lead. After the defense forced a turnover on downs, the hosts went 61 yards on five plays, the biggest one being a 46-yard screen pass to Kenneth Walker III. Zach Charbonnet finished the drive with a 4-yard run up the middle.
