Puka Nacua tweeted a laughing emoji referencing Sam Darnold while Darnold played in the Super Bowl, prompting widespread criticism for poor timing. The Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13, with Darnold connecting on a fourth-quarter 16-yard touchdown to AJ Barner that helped seal the victory. Critics highlighted that Darnold had eliminated the Rams two weeks earlier in the NFC Championship, throwing for 346 yards and three touchdowns. Nacua's social-media behavior drew further scrutiny because of a recent livestream in which he performed a dance featuring an anti-Semitic trope; Nacua later apologized for that incident.
