Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 10 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Seattle’s Sunday loss to Washington. His six touchdowns through three games make him the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to reach that total, Seahawks PR said.
Seahawks PR also said Smith-Njigba is only the second player, after Marvin Harrison in 1999, to have at least 25 catches and 400 yards alongside six touchdowns through the first three games. ESPN Insights said he joined Jerry Rice as the only players in history with at least 120 yards and a touchdown in each of their teams’ first three games.
Seattle hosts the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. A fourth straight game with at least 100 yards and a touchdown would make Smith-Njigba the second player, after Randy Moss, to open a season with that run.
