Watch: WR Puka Nacua's remarkable catch gives Rams lead over Steelers

By Clark Dalton | Last updated 10/22/23

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua produces absurd numbers and catches.

With 11:50 remaining in the third quarter, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford connected with Nacua – who managed to get both feet down despite the tight coverage – on a 32-yard reception. The big play led to a one-yard Darrell Henderson TD run and a two-point conversion by WR Cooper Kupp, giving Los Angeles a 17-10 lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Just 2 players in NFL history have at least 700 receiving yards through their first 7 career games:

Nacua is a steal. The 177th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft had 50 receptions for 598 yards and two TDs through six games entering Sunday. As a result, his Offensive Rookie of The Year odds have skyrocketed. BetMGM gives the former BYU Cougar the second-best odds (+500) to win the award behind Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud.

Don't be surprised if the 22-year-old keeps thriving and becomes a star, especially if he continues to make monumental catches that change momentum.
