Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the star of Sunday Night Football, scoring the game's initial touchdown. The Seattle Seahawks receiver hauled in a jaw-dropping 28-yard pass against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Originally ruled out of bounds, a review confirmed Smith-Njigba's catch secured a touchdown in the end zone. This put Seattle ahead 10-0 with under two minutes remaining in the first half.
Smith-Njigba had an impressive performance, with four catches for 80 yards and the game's only touchdown at that point. The Seahawks defense forced a three-and-out on Kansas City's subsequent drive, giving Seattle an opportunity to extend their lead before halftime.
However, a subsequent drive ended with a Seahawks interception in the end zone. Kansas City then missed a long field goal attempt, and Seattle entered the halftime break with a 10-0 lead.
