Drew Lock finds a wide-open Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a perfect 82-yard TD early vs. Cardinals

The Seahawks quarterback threw a perfect 82-yard touchdown pass to star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on his very first pass of the game in their matchup with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. That put Seattle up 7-0 almost instantly at State Farm Stadium.

That marked the longest touchdown reception of Smith-Njigba's career. The Cardinals did little to stop him, either, and left him completely open along the right sideline for the easy score. All Smith-Njigba had to do was juke briefly, and he was past cornerback Will Johnson and safety Budda Baker into open field.

Smith-Njigba has now scored twice this season. He caught a 45-yard touchdown pass from Lock in the fourth quarter of their comeback 13-10 win over the New England Patriots to open the NFL season. Lock stepped in to replace Darnold, who went down early with a hip injury.
