Despite a tough 30-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba showcased his talent with 10 receptions for 83 yards, bringing him within six yards of the coveted 1,000-yard receiving milestone. This achievement would make him the first Seahawk not named D. K. Metcalf or Tyler Lockett to reach 1,000 yards since Doug Baldwin in 2016. Smith-Njigba's performance highlights his development as a primary target for quarterback Geno Smith, particularly as defenses focus on Metcalf.

Coach Mike Macdonald praised him as a 'dynamite player,' underscoring his vital role as the Seahawks strive for a playoff spot with three games remaining in the regular season.
