On a day when the offense ran for only 60 yards and converted just 1 of 12 third downs, Sam Darnold passed the Seattle Seahawks to a big road win in Florida.
Per the Seahawks' official PR Twitter account, JSN also leads the NFL in receiving yards per game (116), third in 20+ yard receptions (13) and sixth in receiving average (16.6). Not to mention his 42 receptions (tied for 5th in the NFL) have been achieved by getting less targets than the aforementioned Nacua, Christian McCaffrey and Ja'Marr Chase.
Not only did the Seattle Seahawks lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but one of their stars is in trouble with the NFL.

NFL analyst details how Sam Darnold & JSN have helped unlock Seahawks' explosive passing game
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has become a lethal weapon for Seattle's passing game, but he hasn't done it all on his own.
The NFL season continues with the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the Seattle Seahawks Sunday. Start time, where to watch, streaming and NFL schedule.
Puka Nacua, Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and others might like a word, but there's no debate over which player leads the NFL in receiving through six weeks. Smith-Njigba now tops the list with 696 yards, the most in any six-game span in Seahawks history, according to ESPN Research.
The Seahawks got their first win of the season in Week 2 on the road, 31-17, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are currently leading the AFC North. In Week 4, the Seahawks survived a second surge against the Cardinals with a 23-20 victory thanks to a comeback led by quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
