Ja’Marr Chase questions Jaxon Smith-Njigba's lack of defensive attention

Ja’Marr Chase raised concerns regarding Jaxon Smith-Njigba's treatment by NFL defenses during a recent podcast. Chase noted that despite Smith-Njigba's strong performance this season, including nine catches for 155 yards and three touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals, he is not facing the same level of double coverage as Chase himself experiences. This discrepancy in defensive strategies was highlighted as Chase shared his own challenges with defensive attention during games. Smith-Njigba's impressive stats, with nearly double the targets and receptions compared to Chase, have sparked discussions about how defenses may adjust as the season progresses.
