Jaxon Smith-Njigba electrified Seattle with a spontaneous touchdown dunk, leading the Seahawks to a 27-19 win over the Houston Texans.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba celebrates his touchdown catch as an official signals and looks on in the first half of an NFL football game Monday, Oct. 20, 2025, in Seattle. After catching an 11-yard pass from Sam Darnold to put the Seattle Seahawks up 14-0 on the Houston Texans, Smith-Njigba grabbed the football and slam-dunked it over the crossbar of the goalpost.
The act drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, but it also punctuated another stellar performance from the NFL’s current receiving leader. “That was very spontaneous,” Smith-Njigba said. “Definitely saw a lot of my favorites do it , but that was really on the spot right there.” Smith-Njigba finished with eight receptions for 123 yards, marking his NFL-leading fifth 100-yard game of the season and the third straight — making him only the second player in Seahawks history to do so.“There’s nothing routine about what he’s been able to do productivity-wise,” Kupp said. “It’s very difficult. That’s difficult. Takes a lot of work to be able to do that. I think that’s the standard.”The Seahawks improved to 5-2 and heads into its bye week tied atop the NFC West.
