Seahawks Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba Fined for Unsportsmanlike Conduct and Facemask Incident

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been fined $14,491 for unsportsmanlike conduct related to "use of props" after a touchdown celebration where he dunked the ball over the crossbar following an 11-yard reception in the first quarter of last Monday's game against the Texans. Additionally, Smith-Njigba was involved in a sideline skirmish after Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. grabbed his facemask post-interception, leading to Smith-Njigba shoving Stingley. This facemask incident, for which Stingley was also fined, sparked a brawl. Both fines represent first offenses for Smith-Njigba.
