Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba discusses first career passing attempt
Everything went right for the Seattle Seahawks in Sunday's dominant 34-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb even showcased a willingness to deep-dive into his bag of tricks. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba completed a 35-yard pass to DK Metcalf on a trick play. Despite Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith throwing for 207 yards and two touchdowns, it was Smith-Njigba's 35-yard completion that was Seattle's longest passing play of the afternoon.
Smith-Njigba had fun discussing the play during the post-game media scrum at his locker.
"I count that as a passing attempt, yes," Smith-Njigba joked following Sunday's victory. "It's been a minute [since I last attempted a [pass], middle school. That play call, when I'm throwing it, I said I don't care, I'm throwing it [no matter what] and giving my playmakers a chance [to make a play on the ball]," Smith-Njigba joked about not passing up his opportunity to complete a pass. "I don't care. I'm throwing the ball and making a play."
Smith-Njigba has a 100% completion percentage in the NFL! All kidding aside, Grubb may reconsider drawing up another potential passing attempt for Smith-Njigba following his "no matter what" answer. Everything clicked for Seattle on Sunday.
