JSN needs 31 catches to be the Seahawks’ all-time single-season leader in receptions. Will he get there?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
It’s time for another edition of Seahawks Reacts! I know the confidence polling will remain high after last week’s win over the New York Jets. It’s a good thing there is no confidence polling for special teams coach Jay Harbaugh, for those results might be different.
After taking last week off, we’re bringing back the score prediction for the Seahawks’ rematch with the Arizona Cardinals. Last go-round saw Seattle win by 10 points, which by Seahawks standards is a resounding blowout. Will this week be any different?
Our main question of the week is about Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle’s emerging superstar receiver. He’s been outstanding since Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams and he’s especially starred in a 3rd/4th down role.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba on 3rd/4th downs this season:
T-7th in receptions (21)
5th in receiving yards (276)
T-4th in first downs gained (17)— Field Gulls (@FieldGulls) December 3, 2024
JSN has 70 catches for 829 yards and 4 touchdowns, all of which are tops among Seattle’s receivers on the season.
With five games left in the regular season, Smith-Njigba has a chance to eclipse Tyler Lockett’s single-season franchise record for receptions. In 2020, Lockett had a career-high 100 catches, becoming the first (and only) Seahawk to reach the century mark. That extra game plus Seattle’s pass-heavy offense makes it very possible that JSN can go beyond Lockett. The question is: Will he?
