Puka Nacua has been fantastic for the Rams so far this season, making the loss of Cooper Kupp feel a bit less painful in the first two weeks. He continued to make plays in Week 3 against the Bengals, showing off his hands – or hand – in the first quarter on Monday Night Football.
Nacua hauled in a pass from Matthew Stafford with one hand, sticking his left arm out to make the grab for 8 yards and nearly a first down. It wasn’t the best throw by Stafford, but Nacua still made the play and made his quarterback look good.
Unfortunately, the Rams couldn’t convert on third down to extend the drive, but Nacua is off to a good start already with two catches for 20 yards in the first quarter.
Puka with the one-handed grab!
