Seahawks’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba on pace to destroy Calvin Johnson’s record, but by how much?

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is on track to surpass Calvin Johnson's all-time single-season receiving yards record, currently standing at 1,964 yards set in 2012. Smith-Njigba has already outpaced Johnson's record by 231 yards this season, and his current pace of 2,106 yards by the 16th game of the 2026 NFL season could potentially break the mark.

The Seattle defense had a significant impact on the game against the Kansas City Chiefs, a perfect 5-0 team prior to the match, as they held Kenneth Walker III to just 36 rushing yards, diminishing the Chiefs' offensive capabilities. Smith-Njigba's performance was crucial to the Seahawks' 20-3 victory, as he scored a touchdown and contributed significantly to the team's lead.

With Rashid Shaheed sidelined due to a knee injury, Smith-Njigba's continued performance will be vital for the Seahawks, potentially earning him a new NFL record alongside his existing Offensive Player of the Year accolade.
