Seattle Seahawks, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Lockett
Ahead of the final game of the season against the Los Angeles Rams, we have the Seattle Seahawks Week 18 bold predictions.
The Seattle Seahawks were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17. When the Washington Commanders beat the Atlanta Falcons, the Los Angeles Rams clinched the NFC West. Now, Seattle faces Los Angeles in Week 18 with very little on the line.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba had led the Seattle Seahawks in receiving for a seventh straight game, catching 10 passes for 83 yards in their home loss to the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 15. The performance put him on the doorstep of 1,000 yards for the campaign and led to a question about his breakout second season.
The Seahawks won't shy away from helping players hit individual records on Sunday, as long as those measures fit with the team's goal of winning in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Rams are set to rest key players when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after winning the NFC West last week.
Sophomore wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is four receptions away (96) from equaling Tyler Lockett’s single-season receptions record (100). Smith-Njigba can sit atop the leaderboard with five catches, one fewer than his per-game average (six). Expect JSN to etch his name in the Seahawks’ record books on Sunday.
Star, there were at least a couple of other Seattle players who should also have been included on the NFC team.
