The Seattle Seahawks hold a double digit lead over the New England Patriots in the second half of Super Bowl LX, a deficit that could feel almost insurmountable for New England down the stretch given how poorly their offense has played so far in the game.

However, on the other sideline, the Seahawks aren’t exactly lighting it up offensively, with only four Jason Myers field goals to show through nearly three quarters of play.

With that in mind, and with Seattle potentially needing a big play from one of its offensive stars to hold on to the ball and the lead, the potential loss of 2025 NFL Offensive Player of the Year and league leader in receiving yards Jaxon Smith-Njigba looms large. JSN went into the blue medical ten on the sideline for an injury evaluation shortly after having a foot issue addressed on the sideline.

And as noted by the team, JSN is being evaluated for a concussion.
