It was the Puka Nacua show for the Rams Sunday.
The Rams earned their fifth win of the season against the Commanders to improve to 5-4 in the season.
The victory over Washington marked Nacua’s ninth career game with 150 reception yards, which breaks a tie with Hall of Fame receivers Jerry Rice and Randy Moss for the second-most by a player within their first four seasons since 1970, per ESPN Insights.
Only Justin Jefferson has had more career games with 150 reception yards in his first four seasons with 11.
The team’s third win in a row marks the first time the Rams are over .500 this season. Nacua was quarterback Matthew Stafford’s favorite target — again — with Davante Adams out this week.
The 25-year-old tallied 14 receptions for 150 yards with one touchdown. Nacua is starting to look more like the player many expected him to be from the start of 2026.
As the Rams have evidently begun to heat up after a slow start, it’s no coincidence their No. 1 wide receiver has also broken out.
Nacua’s performance could very well put him in the conversation for Offensive Player of the Year if he continues to stay healthy.
