Matthew Stafford was hobbled. The Los Angeles Rams had given up 23 straight points and the game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday was in overtime.
Puka Nacua to the rescue.
The incredible story of the rookie wide receiver continued as he caught a TD pass from the veteran QB in overtime to give the Rams a 29-23 road victory.
