Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored a game-winning touchdown, Garrett Wilson and Baron Browning had big days and Cameron Johnston hit a record-setting punt in Week 8 of the NFL season.
With less than a minute to play and the Seahawks trailing 20-17, Smith-Njigba caught a screen pass and accelerated past two Browns defenders on his way to the end zone for a 9-yard touchdown that would give the Seahawks a 24-20 lead that they would hold for the final 38 seconds of the game.After scoring no touchdowns in his first five NFL games, Smith-Njigba has now scored the first two touchdowns of his professional career in back-to-back weeks.
In the final minute of regulation, Wilson made a 29-yard catch over the middle of the field to help set up the game-tying field goal that sent the game to overtime. In overtime, Wilson kept the Jets’ game-winning drive alive by making an 11-yard catch to move the chains on 3rd-and-10 despite being interfered with by Giants cornerback Deonte Banks.
The former Ohio State punter broke that record with a 74-yard boot against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. And he didn’t even need the help of a friendly bounce. Johnston’s punt traveled nearly 80 yards in the air as it came off Johnston’s foot just outside of the Texans’ own end zone and was caught by Panthers punt returner Ihmir Smith-Marsette just in front of the Panthers’ 20-yard line.For the game as a whole, Johnston averaged 47.
Bosa started putting his stamp on this week’s Sunday night game on the game’s opening drive with a beastly inside rush on which he bull-rushed Chicago Bears left guard Cody Whitehair backward before lunging at Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent to take him down for a sack 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage.Bosa finished the game with four total tackles and five total quarterback pressures as the Los Angeles Chargers won 30-13.
