Jackson Smith-Njigba praises ‘big player’ Rashid Shahid

ByNBAUSA



The Seattle Seahawks are on top of the NFC! With their win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16, Seattle now leads the NFC with 12 wins this year. Thanks to that timely plays from their offense, Seattle managed to overcome a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter of the game and eventually win in overtime.

The Seahawks’ top two receivers played a significant role in their victory. Star wide receiver Jakon Smith-Njigba was his usual dominant self, catching the final touchdown of the game in overtime to set up the game-winning double. Rasheed Shaheed, on the other hand, had a clutch punt return touchdown in the fourth quarter to set up the comeback.

Smith-Njigba couldn’t stop praising Shahid after the game. In his interview with Steve Wyche, the Seahawks wide receiver said his teammate was a “big player” and that his all-around tool has been invaluable to the team this season.

Shaheed was a mid-season acquisition of the Seahawks at the trade deadline. Coming from New Orleans, the wide receiver was expected to make an impact on the offense as another speedy player who stretches the field. As it turns out, Shaheed’s speed can also be used differently. The Seahawks have had great success this season with Shaheed as their punt returner.

Smith-Njigba, of course, was a key player in the Seahawks’ offense. The star wide receiver caught eight passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. Shahid, on the other hand, played around 50% of the offensive snaps but did not record a single catch.

The Seahawks improved to 12-3 this season. Their place in the playoffs is now assured. Now, all that’s left for them to do is contend for the top seed in the NFC and earn a first-round bye.
