- The Chargers do not need to guess who the Seahawks will lean on Sunday.
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba has turned the first three weeks of the season into a run through the record book, and Los Angeles is walking into Week 4 with a defensive assignment built around trying to slow him down.
- Smith-Njigba’s latest statement came against Washington, where he piled up 122 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
- Through three games, Smith-Njigba has 27 receptions, 405 yards and six touchdowns.
- Another way to frame it: he has already cleared 25 catches and 400 yards before the calendar has even reached October.
- That is why the Chargers’ Week 4 game plan is centered on him.
- If Smith-Njigba reaches another 100-yard game in Week 4, he would join Randy Moss as one of only two players to open a season with four straight games of 100 yards and a touchdown.
- Smith-Njigba is not just another receiver to account for; he is the focal point of Seattle’s passing game and the player most likely to tilt the matchup.
- If Los Angeles cannot slow him now, the next stop may be another piece of NFL history.
Chargers’ Week 4 plan has one obvious target: Jaxon Smith-Njigba
