Super Bowl Showdown: Can the Underdog Seahawks Dethrone the Patriots’ Reign?

Containing Smith-Njigba could go a long way for the Patriots given his rapport with Darnold, who was the NFL’s most accurate passer and best at making difficult throws, per our data.
Smith-Njigba isn’t just Darnold’s favorite target – he’s his favorite by a wide margin. In Seattle’s 19 games this season, Darnold has thrown to JSN (178) more than twice as many times as he’s thrown to his next-favorite target, Kupp (81). In the regular season, Smith-Njigba was targeted 92 more times than Kupp – the largest gap between any team’s top two leaders in targets.
