Overview

• Smith-Njigba was flagged for offensive holding that wiped out a Zach Charbonnet touchdown during the fourth quarter at State Farm Stadium.
• As referee Alex Kemp announced the penalty, the receiver shouted a profane complaint into Kemp’s live microphone, which was heard in the stadium and on the broadcast.
• Kemp shot Smith-Njigba a disapproving look but did not assess an additional penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
• Seattle settled for a field goal on the drive and later won 23-20 on Jason Myers’ 52-yard kick as time expired.
• No NFL discipline has been announced, though outlets noted he could be fined, citing Amon-Ra St. Brown’s recent punishment; Smith-Njigba finished with four receptions for 79 yards.
