Jaxon Smith-Njigba just had the best drive of his historic season for the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams.
With just 55 seconds before halftime, the Seahawks had the ball on the 25-yard line. On 2nd down from the 31 yard line, JSN got open deep down the field for 42 yards, where Sam Darnold hit him to put them in scoring position.
Then, when they were guarding the middle of the field heavily, he got open on a corner route to score a 14-yard touchdown, giving Seattle a 17-13 lead before the half.
In total, JSN had 7 receptions for 115 yards in the first half alone. It’s hard to pick one “best drive” of the season, but with this having been one of the most important and least likely to capitalize on, his 75 yards on two catches and a touchdown made the difference in the entire conference title game thus far.
