Watch: Seahawks’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba makes spectacular TD catch in traffic

Seattle Seahawks rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had scored just one touchdown in his previous eight games heading into Sunday’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

That streak ended late in the second quarter after Smith-Njigba caught a 12-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone while covered by two Steelers defensive backs that gave Seattle a 14-10 lead.

Initially shadowed by cornerback James Pierre, Smith-Njigba worked from the slot and cut to the right after  crossing the goal line, where quarterback Geno Smith lobbed a pass over CB Patrick Peterson and right into the hands of Smith-Njigba, who came down with the pass in front of Pierre and safety Eric Rowe.
