Positive signalRole

JSN scores 43-yard TD but remains Seattle's only explosive element; OPI wipes out near-goal-line chance.

Smith-Njigba beat coverage for a 43-yard touchdown reception from Sam Darnold with 30 seconds left in the second quarter, cutting the deficit to 13-9 at halftime. The source identifies him as 'the one consistent explosive piece for Seattle' and 'Seattle's entire explosive element,' noting that 'when he's bottled up, the rest of the offense looks ordinary.' Late in the third quarter, an offensive pass interference call wiped out a near-goal-line gain that would have put Seattle in prime scoring position.
