Jaxon Smith-Njigba Breaks Seahawks Single-Season Receiving Record in Week 12 Win

At 1,313 yards through 11 games, the NFL leader now nears Calvin Johnson’s single-season mark.

Overview

  • The third-year receiver posted eight catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-24 victory over the Titans, moving Seattle to 8-3.
  • He surpassed DK Metcalf’s 2020 franchise mark of 1,303 yards and did it in just 11 games, leaving six games to extend the record.
  • With 1,313 yards and seven touchdowns this season, he remains the league’s receiving leader and has already set a new career high for TDs.
  • Projections cited across outlets place him on pace for roughly 2,000 yards; he needs about 652 more to top Calvin Johnson’s 1,964-yard NFL record.
  • He has recorded at least 75 receiving yards in 11 straight games this season, a run the AP notes trails only Marvin Harrison (14) and Cooper Kupp (13) for the most such games in a single year.
