All kinds of records fell, it was 30-14 and LA had just gotten an interception and had the ball with just over 9:00 left in the game. The Seahwks had a 1.5% chance to win at that point. The Seahwks has never won a game in their history when trailing by 15 in the 4th quarter.



The Los Angeles Rams were in complete control of Thursday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, holding a 16-point lead with under 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Then disaster struck, as the Seahawks returned a punt for a touchdown and found the end zone again less than 2 minutes later following a three-and-out.

It’s hard to believe the Rams gave the game – and possibly the No. 1 seed – away after dominating for about 50 minutes, but they couldn’t close things out the way they hoped. Their 38-37 loss to the Seahawks is the first of its kind in NFL history.

According to Stathead, the Rams are the first team ever to gain 500-plus yards and win the turnover margin by three and still lose the game. Previously, such teams were 93-0 in the regular season. Now they’re 93-1.



Before their recent loss to the Seahawks on December 18, 2025, the Rams were an incredible 323-1 when leading by 15 or more points in the fourth quarter; this recent stunning defeat by Seattle marked only their second loss in that situation, dropping their record to 323-2. (the other loss was in 1989)

The Seattle Seahawks just achieved an incredible comeback win on Thursday night (Dec 18, 2025) against the Rams, overcoming a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter (trailing 30-14) to win 38-37 in overtime, marking their first-ever win when down by 15+ in the final quarter (becoming 1-172 all-time)
 
Maybe the craziest play was the Seahawks' first 2 point try. It was a sideways pass that was deflected by the Rams. It fell into the end zone and the Seahawks running back picked up the ball that was laying on the goal line. They reviewed it and ruled it was a BACKWARD'S PASS which made it a fumble recovered by the Seahawks for 2 points!
 
I questioned that being a backwards pass, it was close, but by the smallest margin, it was. I've never seen a play like that before. :laugh:

And then the winning 2 pt play went to a TE that never catches passes.
 
Seahawks first team in NFL history to convert three 2 point conversions in 4th quarter and OT and win game.

That play was whistled dead. Rewarding a failing play is ridiculous. The Ram player who picked up the ball even though it was dead.
