Smith-Njigba Stars as Seahawks Beat Chiefs 20-3 on Sunday Night
The Seattle receiver finished with nine catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in a lopsided win.
Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba turned Sunday night's game against the Chiefs into his own showcase. He caught nine passes for 150 yards and a touchdown as the Seahawks won 20-3. Other storylines had drawn more attention before kickoff, but he ended the night as the game's biggest star.
Why it matters The performance adds to what ESPN calls a historic start for the receiver. A single player's big night can shape how a game feels, and this one came in a lopsided result. It's also a reminder that a player who isn't the main talking point beforehand can quickly become the headline.
What to watch Keep an eye on whether Smith-Njigba can keep this historic start going in Seattle's upcoming games, and how opposing teams respond to him.
