Smith-Njigba powered the Seahawks’ offense with a sweltering performance, recording nine receptions for 155 yards and three touchdowns.
He found the end zone on catches of 82, seven and 12 yards, producing explosive plays while consistently giving Seattle a reliable option in key situations. The three-score game marked a personal milestone for the standout receiver and continued his fast start to the season.
The victory gave Seattle an important early edge in the NFC West title race.

Beyond the immediate result, the win carries significant value later in the season if division tiebreakers become a factor. Seattle’s dominant finish also reinforced its ability to handle a hostile environment and capitalize against a direct rival.
