Jaxon Smith-Njigba Sets New Career Receiving Mark in Seahawks' Loss

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, 23, set a new career high on Sunday, corralling nine of 12 targets for 105 yards and adding 11 yards from one carry in the Seahawks' 21-19 loss to the Rams. He comfortably surpassed his previous career-best of 1,130 receiving yards from last season, achieving this milestone in seven fewer contests. This marked his seventh 100-yard game in 10 appearances this season, a significant increase from the three he had in 2024. Despite his impressive yardage, Smith-Njigba, who was on pace to set an NFL record for receiving yards in a season, did not score a touchdown in the game. He is expected to continue producing WR1 numbers. Smith-Njigba signed a four-year, $14.42 million contract in May 2023 and has recorded 63 receptions for 1041 yards and 5 touchdowns on 84 targets in 2025.
