Analysis

After several noteworthy performances in recent weeks, Smith-Njigba finished with his lowest reception and yardage totals since Week 7, although the former tally tied him for second on the night in catches with several teammates.

Despite the loss, it has become apparent that Seattle wants to build its offense around JSN and a talented group of starting wideouts.
