Jaxon Smith-Njigba Becomes Third to Open Season With Nine Straight 75-Plus-Yard Games

The Seahawks wideout reached the mark against Arizona at Lumen Field, extending a breakout campaign that has paced the NFL in receiving.

Overview

  • Seattle announced he joined Antonio Brown (2014) and Michael Irvin (1995) as the only players in the Super Bowl era to log at least 75 receiving yards in each of their first nine games.
  • He briefly exited in the first half for a concussion check and returned to the sideline with his helmet as no further issue was reported.
  • The milestone came during a dominant Seattle start that produced a 35-0 first‑half lead over the Cardinals.
  • Entering Week 10, he led the NFL with 948 yards in eight games on 58 receptions at 16.3 yards per catch, including four straight 100‑yard performances.
  • Arizona arrived shorthanded in the secondary with Max Melton and Will Johnson ruled out, after holding him in check early in Week 4 before his late 36‑yard grab set up the Seahawks’ 23-20 win.
