The second-year wideout has now posted his fifth 100-yard game of the season (the most in the NFL) and leads the league with 819 receiving yards through Week 7. When stacked against the NFL&rsquo;s other top receivers, Ja&rsquo;Marr Chase has 629 yards, Puka Nacua 616, George Pickens 607, and Amon-Ra St. Brown 538.&nbsp;<\/p><p>That 190-yard buffer over Chase underscores how dominant and consistent he&rsquo;s been, turning what began as flashes of potential in his rookie year into a full-blown takeover that&rsquo;s redefining the Seahawks&rsquo; passing rhythm.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A LEAGUE LEADING 819 REC YDS AFTER 7 WEEKS FOR JSN &#128526; <br><br>JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA CONTINUES TO PUT UP VIDEO GAME NUMBERS &#127918; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3YUg2QVEcP\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/3YUg2QVEcP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/1980506588046676117?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 21, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seahawks&rsquo; Offensive Engine, Smith&rsquo;s WR Domination<\/h2><p>The Seahawks have long searched for a receiver who could balance finesse with reliability and Smith-Njigba has delivered both. He became just the second player in franchise history to notch three straight 100-yard outings, a feat last seen during the Steve Largent era. His precise route-running and ability to win outside have expanded Seattle&rsquo;s playbook, forcing defenses to account for him on every snap.&nbsp;<\/p><p>According to NFL Next Gen Stats, 77.8% of his routes this season have come from the outside, a dramatic shift from his early slot-heavy usage. Seven of his eight catches Monday came from that alignment, totaling 104 yards and an 11-yard score.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">Jaxon Smith-Njigba &#128563; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rkPvO5XJbw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/rkPvO5XJbw<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Real Sports (@realapp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realapp\/status\/1980507810413834434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 21, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Cooper Kupp, one of the league&rsquo;s most respected receivers, couldn&rsquo;t help but take notice. <em>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s nothing routine about what he&rsquo;s been able to do productivity-wise,&rdquo;<\/em> Kupp said postgame.<em> &ldquo;That&rsquo;s difficult.

I previously wrote for Sportskeeda and hold a B.A. and M.A. in History. My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn\u2019t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren\\'t noise; they\\'re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_rudradubey__\/","https:\/\/x.com\/Rudradubey1997"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/rudra\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638528"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638528"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":639139,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638528\/revisions\/639139"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/638529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
