Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba draws glare from NFL ref after wild hot mic moment

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-20, led by a game-winning drive by Sam Darnold. Colin Cowherd discusses Darnold’s last two seasons and says that he’s become elite.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba voiced his displeasure with a penalty for the world to hear. 

Smith-Njigba, 23, was called for a holding penalty that took a touchdown off the board in the fourth quarter of the Seahawks' 23-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night at State Farm Stadium.

Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet appeared to have a rushing touchdown from just inside the 10-yard line, but Smith-Njigba held onto a defensive back and drew the flag.
