JSN's historic pace halted by Vikings' defense
1 Dec
Summary
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba is on pace for a historic 2000-yard receiving season.
- He has not been targeted through the first quarter of the Week 13 game.
- Quarterback pressure is hindering the Seahawks' passing attack.
In his third NFL season, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a standout performer, tracking towards a historic receiving milestone. JSN has amassed 1,313 yards through 11 games, positioning him to potentially surpass 2,000 yards, a feat yet to be achieved by any receiver in NFL history.
However, the anticipated historic performance faced an early hurdle during the Week 13 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. JSN remained active and healthy but was notably absent from targets throughout the game's initial quarter. This quiet start was attributed to the Seahawks' offensive struggles.
The primary challenge for Seattle's offense has been the relentless pressure on quarterback Sam Darnold, which has significantly disrupted their aerial attack. Despite this slow start, there is an expectation that JSN will eventually find his rhythm as the game progresses.
