Seahawks&#8217; coach Mike Macdonald chose to play aggressively for the win rather than settle for a tie, trusting quarterback Sam Darnold to deliver in clutch moments.Darnold connected wiht Jaxon Smith-Njigba for an overtime touchdown and then completed a historic 2-point conversion to Eric Saubert, marking the first time an NFL team won via an overtime 2-point conversion.<\/p>\n<p>Key plays included a punt return touchdown by Rashid Shaheed and a unique backward pass that led to a 2-point conversion touchdown credited to Zach Charbonnet. Despite a strong performance by Rams QB matthew Stafford, who threw for 457 yards and three touchdowns, and standout wide receiver Puka Nacua&#8217;s 225 receiving yards, the Rams couldn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-gop-still-trusted-by-large-margins-on-issues-most-important-to-americans-including-the-economy\/\" title=\"CNN: GOP Still Trusted by Large Margins on Issues Most Important to Americans, Including the Economy\">maintain thier lead<\/a>. The Rams also played without injured star Davante Adams, impacting their red zone success.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle secured their playoff spot and positioned themselves for the NFC top seed,while the Rams face a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nrcc-rolls-out-first-video-in-majority-makers-series\/\" title=\"NRCC unveils inaugural video in &#039;majority makers&#039; series.\">challenging path ahead<\/a>. Both teams dealt with injuries, but Seattle&#8217;s resilience, especially from Darnold and key receivers like Smith-Njigba and Saubert, proved decisive in this thrilling contest.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Mike Macdonald was in no mood to play for a tie, and the Los Angeles Rams&rsquo; defense had no interest in letting Sam Darnold connect with any of his top receiving options.<\/p>\n<p>After Darnold <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL\/status\/2001877923809366492\">hit Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/a> for a touchdown in overtime, Macdonald entrusted his quarterback to win it for Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Darnold did just that, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL\/status\/2001879754123939849\">hitting a wide-open Eric Saubert<\/a> for the 2-point conversion, and the Seahawks overcame a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun the Rams 38-37 on Thursday night for a one-game lead in the NFC West.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It was something we talked about throughout the season and particularly for this game because of the playoff situation,&rdquo; Macdonald said. &ldquo;You know, you play for the tie and lock up a playoff seat, but I just felt great about our play and I trusted our guys.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Seahawks became the first NFL team to win on an overtime 2-point conversion.

And those little momentum shifts, the energy in the stadium has changed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>After a three-and-out by the Rams, Darnold found tight end AJ Barner for a 26-yard TD, and Charbonnet tied it on the quirky 2-point play.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams got the ball first in overtime and Matthew Stafford connected with Puka Nacua, who <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL\/status\/2001875587011612813\">cruised untouched into the end zone<\/a> for a 41-yard touchdown to make it 37-30. Nacua finished with 12 catches for 225 yards and two TDs, and Stafford had 457 yards passing &mdash; the third-most of his career &mdash; and three scores as the Rams&rsquo; offense totaled 581 yards without a turnover.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the Seahawks came up with some big stops in the fourth quarter. The Rams had four punts and a missed field goal on their final five possessions of regulation.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re a very resilient, relentless group,&rdquo; Darnold said.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle (12-3) clinched a playoff spot and moved into position for the top seed in the NFC, while LA (11-4) faces a road playoff opener if it can&rsquo;t overtake the Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>Darnold, who threw four interceptions against the Rams in a 21-19 loss on Nov. 16, had two in this one, including by 297-pound defensive end Kobie Turner. But he made clutch throws in the fourth quarter and OT, finishing with 270 yards passing and two TDs.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s resilient,&rdquo; Kupp said. &ldquo;His steadiness. His leadership. I mean, all these things that you want in a quarterback.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Double trouble<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Smith-Njigba and Nacua entered the evening as the NFL&rsquo;s leading and second-leading receivers in total yardage. By the end of the night, Nacua had the NFL&rsquo;s receptions lead with 114.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Puka is a great player,&rdquo; Macdonald said of Nacua. &ldquo;He made some great contested catches that you got to kind of chalk up to him being a great player.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Smith-Njigba, meanwhile, increased his total yards receiving to 1,637 in 15 games. He also set the Seahawks&rsquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >single-season franchise record<\/a> with his 101st catch of the season. Smith-Njigba pushed the total to 104.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Devoid of Davante<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Rams played without Davante Adams, who was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Adams aggravated his hamstring injury while running a long route in the fourth quarter of the Rams&rsquo; 41-34 win over Detroit on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Without the NFL&rsquo;s leader in touchdown receptions, the Rams settled for field goals in the red zones three times.<\/p>\n<h3><em><strong>Injuries<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Rams: Offensive lineman Kevin Dotson injured his ankle in the first quarter and did not return.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Seahawks: Three players in the secondary left in the fourth quarter: Safety Coby Bryant (knee), safety Nick Emmanwori (evaluated for a concussion) and cornerback Riq Woolen (knee).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Up next<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rams: At Atlanta on Monday, Dec. 29.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Seahawks: At Carolina on Sunday, Dec. 28.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Western Journal has reviewed this Associated Press story and may have altered it prior to publication to ensure that it meets our editorial standards.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
