Jaxon Smith-Njigba delivered when it mattered most. The star wide receiver dominated Sunday's NFC Championship Game as the Seattle Seahawks punched their ticket to the Super Bowl with a 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, and he made no secret about his hunger for more.

When Tom Brady handed him the LFG Player of the Game award, Smith-Njigba let out a roar. "Let's go!" he yelled. "One more, can't wait. San Francisco. You can read it. You can read it."

A Breakout Performance Under Pressure

Smith-Njigba caught 10 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown—arguably his best outing of a potential Offensive Player of the Year season. The damage came early and often: he racked up 115 receiving yards in the first half alone, the most receiving yards any player has posted in the opening 30 minutes of a conference championship game in nine years.

The numbers underscore a larger achievement. Smith-Njigba became only the fourth player in NFL history to record at least 90 receiving yards in 14 games, including the postseason.

One-Handed Magic

The highlight reel was filled with acrobatic catches. Late in the first quarter with Seattle facing third-and-2 at the Rams' 16-yard line, quarterback Sam Darnold rolled left and threw toward Smith-Njigba's shoulder—seemingly out of reach.

Smith-Njigba extended his right arm and snagged the ball one-handed, keeping his feet inbound to move the chains.

"Why do you need two hands when you got one that's like a suction cup? What a catch," Brady said on the broadcast.

The Seahawks kicked a field goal to extend their lead to 10-3. Smith-Njigba's touchdown came late in the half—a 14-yard grab that broke through the secondary and gave Seattle a 17-13 lead before halftime.

Brady went deeper in his analysis of what makes Smith-Njigba elite.

"Of course, he caught it. He was just three yards out of bounds. But he catches everything! One-handed, two-handed, off the fingertips—he's so graceful with his body control. He's like an ice skater out there when I see him run routes. He glides and his shoulder plane never dips. It's always the same height. A lot of receivers, when they run, if they're speeding up or stopping, their shoulder planes will rise or fall. He maintains the same shoulder plane when he runs his route. It's really hard for any defensive back to get a beat on what he's doing."

Tormenting the Rams

Smith-Njigba has haunted the Rams secondary all season, posting 201 yards across their two regular-season matchups. He leads the league with 1,793 receiving yards.

More Than One Man

But Smith-Njigba was clear: this championship belonged to the entire operation. Quarterback Sam Darnold played at an elite level. Running back Kenneth Walker delivered crucial performances. The Seahawks' defense led the league in scoring during the regular season.

"It starts the offseason, just building a culture from the ground up," Smith-Njigba told Brady. "Coming into this game, we told each other whatever we have to do in all phases—defense, offense, special teams—we're going to get the job done. Whatever it takes. That's what you saw tonight, man."

Super Bowl Destiny

Seattle will face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX—a rematch of a championship played 11 years ago. Both teams are hunting titles after missing the playoffs just a season ago.

"That's what it's about, it's about the journey and what we had to come through, ups and downs," Smith-Njigba said. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I love this team and the way we fought. I'm just super proud of this team and super proud to be a Seahawk."
