Charbonnet's crucial lateral recovery tied playoff game that led to Seahawks' Super Bowl.

Charbonnet made a crucial play in the Seahawks' game-tying two-point conversion in the fourth quarter against the Rams in a game that determined the top seed in the NFC Playoffs. The play appeared to be an incomplete pass, but replay review showed it was actually a lateral, keeping the ball in play. Charbonnet casually recovered the ball in the end zone, tying the game. The Seahawks won in overtime and went on to win the Super Bowl. The source uses this as an example of how championships require both elite talent and significant luck; without this fortuitous play, the Seahawks' championship run could have been derailed.
