Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba overlooked for NFL Player of the Week

Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seahawks was a standout performer in a 31-7 victory over the Cardinals in Week 2, recording nine receptions for 155 yards and three touchdowns. Despite his impressive performance, he was not awarded the NFC Offensive Player of the Week, which went to 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Smith-Njigba currently leads the NFL in receiving yards and is tied for first in touchdowns. The Seahawks will play against the Washington Commanders next Sunday, providing Smith-Njigba another chance for recognition.
