Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, from BYU, set the NFL single-game record for most receptions by a rookie with 15 catches in a 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, left, tries to fend off San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023, in Inglewood, Calif. With Cooper Kupp sidelined by a hamstring injury, Puka Nacua is picking up the slack for the Los Angeles Rams.
Nacua is also the first player in NFL history with double-digit receptions and 100 yards receiving in each of his first two career games. He had 10 receptions for 119 yards in last weekend’s opener at Seattle. “Every time I turned to look, was catching a ball and falling forward with two guys on him,” said 49ers linebacker Fred Warner, a fellow BYU product. “He did a great job.”
He is also the fourth player with at least 100 yards receiving in his first two games, with the last being Will Fuller in 2016 with Houston.
