The Seattle Seahawks mastered the art of the 2-point conversion on Thursday night as Sam Darnold led an incredible comeback win against the Los Angeles Rams, 38-37, in what NFL fans were calling the game of the year.

Darnold led the Seahawks on a nine-play, 65-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba to answer Matthew Stafford’s touchdown pass to Puka Nacua to take the lead. Seattle went for two to win the game and Darnold found tight end Eric Saubert wide open in the end zone for the win. Saubert didn’t receive a target the entire night.

Seattle converted three 2-point attempts between the fourth quarter and overtime in the win.

The first came when it appeared the Rams were going to take control of the game. Darnold had turned the ball over with 9:48 left in the game down 16 points. Seattle was 0-172 all time when trailing by at least 15 points in the fourth quarter. The odds were not on their sides.

However, Seahawks punt returner Rashid Shaheed returned a punt for a touchdown. It led to Darnold finding Cooper Kupp for the first 2-point conversion.

On Seattle’s next drive, Darnold floated a pass to tight end A.J. Barner in the end zone for a touchdown. Things got a little bit wacky during the 2-point try.

During the conversion attempt, Darnold threw a parallel pass meant for running back Zach Charbonnet. Rams pass rusher Jared Verse batted the ball in the middle of the pass and the ball landed in the end zone. Charbonnet nonchalantly picked up the ball in the end zone, likely thinking the play was over.

Instead, officials reviewed the play and determined that Darnold threw a backward pass and the ball was live when it bounced into the end zone. Because Charbonnet recovered the ball, Seattle was awarded two points. The game was tied 30-30 with 6:23 left in the game.

The Rams had a chance to take the lead but Harrison Mevis missed a field goal that would have put the team up three points. There was no offense after that point and the game went into overtime.

Stafford found Nacua for the big touchdown to take the lead, but Darnold answered.

Seattle won the game and clinched a playoff spot.

NFL fans needed a breather after that game.

Darnold was 22-of-34 with 270 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two interceptions. Running back Kenneth Walker III ran for 100 yards and a touchdown. Charbonnet also scored a rushing touchdown.

Smith-Njigba led the team with eight catches for 96 yards and a touchdown.

Nacua had an incredible night amid a shroud of controversy during the week. He had 12 catches for 225 yards and two touchdowns. The star wide receiver apologized after he was accused of antisemitism during a livestream. He also ripped NFL officials.

Stafford was 29-of-49 for 457 yards and three touchdowns. He didn’t throw an interception and was not sacked.

Seattle moved to 12-3 with the win. Los Angeles fell to 11-4.

The longest-serving governor of North Carolina, Jim Hunt, died Thursday at the age of 88.

His daughter, Lt. Gov. Rachel Hunt, announced the Democratic leader’s death in a statement on X.

"It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my beloved daddy and hero, former Governor Jim Hunt," she wrote.

"He devoted his life to serving the people of North Carolina, guided by a belief that public service should expand opportunity, strengthen communities, and always put people first. His leadership and compassion left a lasting impact on so many across our state."

Hunt served a total of 16 years as North Carolina’s governor, holding office from 1977 to 1985 and again from 1993 to 2001. He was the only governor in state history to be elected to four terms, following a constitutional change allowing consecutive service.

Hunt was widely regarded as the state’s education-focused governor who made schools and early childhood learning the centerpiece of his administration. He is widely known for launching "Smart Start," a 1993 initiative that provided health and education services to children under age five to help prepare them for school.

He also successfully lobbied to raise North Carolina teacher salaries above the national median, expanded access to full-day kindergarten statewide, and established the nation’s first public residential high school focused on science and math.

"I can think of no one who shaped North Carolina’s recent successes as much as Governor Jim Hunt," North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein said in a post on X. 

"Governor for 16 years, he was a visionary who founded Smart Start, raised teacher pay, protected air quality, and created the NC Biotech Center. On a personal level, he was a mentor and dear friend. Anna and I are keeping Carolyn, Rachel, and the entire Hunt family in our thoughts and prayers. May Governor Hunt’s memory be a blessing. He certainly was for North Carolina."

Former North Carolina political figures also shared their condolences online following Hunt’s death.

"Not only was he the greatest Governor in North Carolina history, he brought a caring and committed purpose to everything he did, especially our children and our schools," former Gov. Roy Cooper wrote in a post on X.

"I don’t know anyone who worked harder and had a greater positive effect on the people of North Carolina than Jim Hunt. He was a great friend and mentor and I will miss him."

Former Republican Gov. Pat McCrory added in another post on Facebook:

"Jim Hunt was ‘The Governor’ and was the greatest salesperson ever for our state," he said. "For me personally and despite our political differences, he was a mentor and friend during my tenure as Mayor, Governor and as a former Governor.  He will be missed but his spirit and passion for public service will remain forever."
