Seattle Seahawks saw it all unfolding, and some might have been initially thankfully that wide receiver DK Metcalf was no longer with the team. In Week 7, the Houston Texans had just intercepted a pass from quarterback Sam Darnold, and chaos began to unfold.
Derek Stingley Jr. has picked the pass and JSN attempted to tackle him or push him out of bounds. While doing so, Stingley pushed Smith-Njigba in the face causing the receiver's helmet to come off. JSN then slightly pushed Stingley as both went into the Houston sideline.
The players stopped and were standing for a second, but then Texans linebacker Christian Harris pushed Smith-Njigba into the Houston bench where the receiver sat.
