After a 44-22 win vs. the Cardinals in week 10 improved the Seahawks to 7-2 in 2025. In addition, the team has won four games in a row. Offensively, Seattle is one of the top teams in the NFL this season. Their 30.6 points per game ranks third in the league. Additionally, Seattle’s 246.1 passing yards per game in 2025 is the seventh-highest in the NFL. The Seahawks were an explosive passing offense at the start of 2025.
That’s thanks to the connection between Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Credit to the Seahawks for trading DK Metcalf this offseason and knowing they had a legitimate WR1 in Smith-Njigba. As a WR2 for the Seahawks in 2024, Jaxson Smith-Njigba had 100 catches for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns. Through nine games in 2025, Smith-Njigba has 63 catches for 1,041 yards and five touchdowns. His 115.7 yards per game are the best in the NFL this season.
