‘A Play I Really Wanted’: Jaxon Smith-Njigba Called His Own Shot To Ice Win Over Steelers

The Steelers had just returned the point margin to one score when Jaxon Smith-Njigba called his shot and flipped the field. After a gaffe on a kick return gave the Seahawks a 10-point lead, Pittsburgh responded with a nine-play field goal drive. Hoping the defense could hold up, the Steelers blared Renegade, but it backfired.

After converting a 3rd and 9, Sam Darnold found Jaxon Smith-Njigba down the field for 43 yards, beating Jalen Ramsey. After the game, he told Mike Florio, he wanted that play based on what he saw from the Steelers earlier.
