What's Happening?
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is on track to break the NFL single-season receiving yards record held by Calvin Johnson. Smith-Njigba has already set a new franchise record with 1,313
yards and needs to average 109 yards per game over the remaining six games to surpass Johnson's record of 1,964 yards. His performance against the Tennessee Titans, where he recorded 167 yards and two touchdowns, exemplifies his potential to achieve this milestone. Smith-Njigba's dominance in the league has positioned him as a leading receiver with the possibility of becoming the first to reach 2,000 yards in a season.
Why It's Important?
Breaking the NFL single-season receiving yards record would be a historic achievement for Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks. It would highlight his exceptional talent and solidify his status as one of the league's top receivers. This pursuit of the record could also elevate the Seahawks' profile and enhance their competitive edge in the NFL. Smith-Njigba's success may influence future contract negotiations and endorsements, as well as inspire other players to strive for similar achievements.
