Jayden Daniels’ injury, Smith-Njigba’s brilliance, and a new FG record highlight Week 9 NFL talking points

Week 9 was a perfect microcosm of everything we've witnessed in previous weeks. Heroics, history, and heartbreak aplenty. The kind of Sunday that reminds us why we love the NFL so much.

The Bills' statement win over the Chiefs and the wild Bears-Bengals shotout grabbed the headlines, but plenty of other Week 9 storylines deserve a closer look.

Here’s a quick rundown of the other takeaways from the frantic weekend of NFL action.

Daniels' injury

The reigning Rookie of the Year winner exited Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks late in the fourth quarter after suffering an arm injury.

Daniels had already missed three games earlier in the year with a knee and hamstring injury, and was eager to help spearhead a turnaround in the Commanders' fortunes after their poor start to the season.

Even if the MRI reveals the injury is not as bad as it first looked, it’s tough to watch the 24-year-old sidelined again - even for a few games.

Daniels' offensive lineman Sam Cosmi shared how everyone in the Commanders' locker room must feel right now.

Smith-Njigba ties HoF Largent's record

Everyone expected JSN to be the focal point of the Seahawks' offense, but few expected him to make it look so easy.

On Sunday, the 23-year-old hauled in eight catches for 129 yards, and in doing so, tied Hall of Fame legend Steve Largent for the most 100-yard games in a single season.

The fact that Smith-Njigba has achieved that feat in only eight games makes his feat even more impressive. And, at his current pace, he's undoubtedly going to break Largent's record outright.

Quarterback Sam Darnold deserves his share of the credit, but make no mistake - Smith-Njigba is the true standout in this impressive Seahawks' offense.

Cam Little breaks NFL field goal record

Little came into Week 9 under fire after missing four of his previous 14 field goal attempts.

Head coach Liam Coen stuck by the 22-year-old and was rewarded with not only a perfect three-of-three performance but a new NFL record.

What better way to silence his doubters than to etch his name into NFL history?
