Jaxon Smith-Njigba broke the Seattle Seahawks’ single-season receiving yards record on November 23, 2025, catching eight passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns as Seattle held off the Tennessee Titans 30-24 at Nissan Stadium. Sam Darnold, who had thrown four interceptions in a Week 11 loss to the Rams, finished 16-of-26 for 244 yards and two scores without a turnover. Tennessee rookie Cam Ward turned in the best statistical performance of his first NFL season — 256 yards passing, a touchdown through the air, and his first career rushing score — but the Titans dropped to 1-10, their sixth consecutive loss.

Sam Darnold and Cam Ward Passing Stats
| Player | Team | C/ATT | YDS | AVG | TD | INT | SACKS | RTG | QBR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sam Darnold | SEA | 16/26 | 244 | 9.4 | 2 | 0 | 1–5 | 118.1 | 40.6 |
| Cam Ward | TEN | 28/42 | 256 | 6.1 | 1 | 0 | 4–24 | 91.0 | 77.4 |
Darnold’s 118.1 passer rating and zero turnovers came one week after he posted a 39.2 PFF grade against the Rams with four interceptions. His PFF passing grade for this game was 60.3 — functional rather than exceptional — with Smith-Njigba doing much of the statistical work. Ward’s performance was his cleanest as a professional: he generated a +4.4 EPA per Next Gen Stats, his first positive EPA figure in 12 starts. Entering Week 12, he had six touchdown passes against 12 turnovers, and Tennessee ranked last in the NFL at 12.3 points per game.

Hall’s sack with 6:11 remaining, which pushed Tennessee back to fourth-and-long at the Seattle 21 and forced a turnover on downs, was the defensive play that effectively closed the game before the final-minute drive.

Seattle’s win secured the first NFC wild-card position at 8-3 — its fifth win in six games — and the performance confirmed what the receiving numbers had been building toward all season: Smith-Njigba’s 1,313 yards through 11 games placed him in historically rare company, a pace that at that point in the 2025 season trailed only Harrison’s 14-game 75-yard streak in 2002 and Kupp’s 13 in 2021 as the longest single-season runs in NFL history.
