On Friday, the Seattle Seahawks announced their selection of Week 12 game captains ahead of Sunday’s matchup vs. the Tennessee Titans.
Smith-Njigba’s monster of a season needs no introduction. The 23-year old wideout currently leads the league in receiving yards (1,146), and at the time of this writing, he is the only receiver with 1,000 yards this year. JSN ranks fourth in receptions (72), just seven away from the Cincinnati Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase, who holds the top spot. Smith-Njigba has had seven 100-yard games this season, surpassing Steve Largent’s franchise record of six in one year.
Last but not least, we have some special teams representation for this week’s game. Stoll will be a captain for the second time in his career, following Week 12 of last year. An interesting coincidence for Stoll to be a captain in the same week two years in a row, and a bit symbolic considering the “12th Man” nickname for the Seahawks’ fan base. The 27-year-old long snapper has appeared in every game for Seattle since Week 1 of the 2023 season, taking part in the final rookie class of the Pete Carroll era.
The Seahawks will take on the Titans at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium at 10:00 a.m. PT on Sunday.
