Watch: Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s biggest plays from Week 9

The Seattle Seahawks’ 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams in Week 9 was as demoralizing as it gets. However, the best bright spot from the debacle was the official emergence of second-year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a game-changing force.

The former Ohio State standout was unstoppable against Los Angeles. JSN hauled in seven receptions for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Shockingly, it could have been even greater, as 78 additional yards were called back due to holding calls.

After a year and a half, the first round receiver finally had his breakout game and proved he can be a legitimate weapon down the field for Seattle’s offense. This is made even more impactful in the absence of DK Metcalf, who missed the last two games. Without Metcalf against the Bills, it was evident the Seahawks could not stretch the field. It was not until Week 9 when JSN showed he can be the one to help fill this role.

It’s with this success we should take the time to watch some of his biggest highlights from the biggest games of his career.
