Jaxon Smith-Njigba reaches 1,000 receiving yards in Seattle’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, becoming the first NFL player this season to hit the mark. Yahoo Sports and the AP-based report note he enters the matchup with 985 yards and reaches exactly 1,000 in the first quarter on a short catch.
However, the same Seahawks–Cardinals game also includes a contrasting performance for Smith-Njigba by his own standards. Yahoo Sports reports that after a “ridiculous streak” of high production, he finishes with 51 receiving yards and no touchdowns on seven receptions from 10 targets in Seattle’s 17–3 win.
Other coverage focuses more on the broader historic pace of the season. NDTV frames the milestone as the start of a push toward potential NFL history, including mention of a 2,000-yard receiving season goal, while the Winnipeg Free Press (Canada) headlines the 1,000-yard achievement without adding further detail in the provided summary.
