One of the Seahawks’ young stars just received a big honor. 3rd-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October.
JSN racked up 417 yards in two touchdowns in just three games throughout the month due to the team’s bye week. He currently leads the league with 819 receiving yards and is on pace to break the NFL single-season receiving record with just under 2,000 yards.
JSN is the first Seahawk to earn the award since Geno Smith did three years ago.
The Seahawks are in the nation’s capital this weekend for a primetime matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night.

The World Series is heading back to Toronto after the Blue Jays took control of the series last night.
Toronto beat LA 6-1 behind a historic performance on the mound from Trey Yesavage. The 22-year-old set a World Series rookie record with 12 strikeouts and the Blue Jays opened the game with back-to-back homers to set the tone.
Toronto is now one win away from their first championship since 1993. They’ll look to get the job done up North in Game 6 tomorrow.
But it won’t be easy against the defending champion Dodgers, who are starting Yoshinobu Yamamoto fresh off back-to-back complete games in the playoffs.
