Jaxon Smith-Njigba Breaks Seahawks Receiving Record During Epic Game vs. Titans

Seattle Seahawks star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba's outstanding game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday put him in the history books.

With eight catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns through the first three quarters, Smith-Njigba broke DK Metcalf's single-season franchise record of 1,303 yards set in 2020. Even more impressively, he did so in just the 11th game of the season.

Smith-Njigba has blossomed since the arrival of quarterback Sam Darnold, who signed with the Seahawks over the offseason and helped lead the team to a 7-3 start.

In Sunday's game against the Titans, Darnold and Smith-Njigba put their connection on display early with a 63-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
