Drew Lock found Jaxon Smith-Njigba from 7 yards out during Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season, another scoring play in a game that kept turning his way. The touchdown came in the Seahawks vs. Cardinals setting and added to a night that already had Smith-Njigba piling up points.
For readers tracking Jaxon Smith-Njigba now, that is the point of the clip: one of the league’s most watched young pass catchers kept finishing drives, and this one came on a short throw from Lock. If you were already following his rise after a huge 2025 season, this is the kind of play that keeps his name moving through early-season highlight rounds.
The detail that makes the sequence stand out is the count. The 7-yard pass was one score, but later in the same game Smith-Njigba was credited with his third touchdown of the night, which means the highlight feed is not just showing a single strike but a wider outburst. That also explains why the clip is being framed around a second TD even as the body of the highlight notes a third trip to the end zone.
This came from a highlight page that bundled several Week 2 clips, but the Seahawks play is the one that carried the most weight because it showed Smith-Njigba doing more than collecting catches. He was turning them into touchdowns. For Seattle, that is the kind of production that changes the shape of a game fast, and for anyone watching his 2026 line, it is the clearest sign yet that the scoring pace is not a one-play burst.
The unresolved part is not whether he scored again — he did — but how many more such nights Seattle can expect if the ball keeps finding him in scoring range. That question is already part of the conversation around him, including in early-season looks at his fantasy value and the possibility of regression, and this game gives both sides of that debate more to work with.
