Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has increased his production to more than justify his market-leading contract.
Through three games, Smith-Njigba has 27 catches for 405 yards and six touchdowns. Entering Sunday, he led the league in all three categories.
He also has at least 100 yards receiving and a touchdown in each game. With 100 or more yards and another touchdown catch against the Chargers, Smith-Njigba will match Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history to ever do that, via NBC Sports research.
Moss accomplished it in 2007, his epic first season with the Patriots. If he keeps it up, he could be the first back-to-back NFL Offensive Player of the Year since Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk won it three times in a row, from 1999 through 2001.
If Smith-Njigba wins it again, hopefully the trophy won’t have a typo.
