Rams Lose to Seahawks After Controversial 2-Point Conversion

The Los Angeles Rams experienced a heartbreaking 38-37 overtime defeat against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16. The game's most debated moment arose in the fourth quarter during a two-point conversion attempt by the Seahawks. Officials controversially ruled the play successful after an initial incomplete pass, deeming it a backwards pass that was recovered in the end zone.

This decision left Rams head coach Sean McVay perplexed, as he stated he had never witnessed such a reversal, especially after the team was preparing to kick off. Quarterback Matthew Stafford also expressed confusion, questioning how a fumbled ball could be advanced on a two-point conversion inside the final two minutes of regulation.

Despite the controversial call, the Rams (11-4) are preparing for their Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on December 29th. While LA has secured a playoff spot, they are vying for the NFC West title, currently trailing the Seahawks (12-3).
