""That's powerful Puk," Adams said. "He's a tough son of a gun, that's for sure.""
""He's a special player," quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "He's a special person on our team. His game comes to life on Sundays. He goes out there in practice and he's working. He is doing all this stuff. He's making plays and all that, but when it becomes tackle football is when Puka Nacua's game comes to life.""
Puka Nacua suffered a facial laceration after a collision on a 9-yard catch and left for concussion evaluation and stitches before returning. On his first drive back he recorded 19- and 24-yard catches and finished with 10 receptions for 130 yards, leading the team despite missing time. Davante Adams joined the Rams this offseason and attracted heavy coverage from Derek Stingley Jr., increasing Nacua's targets and impact. The Rams won 14-9 over the Texans, and Nacua's toughness and playmaking provided a crucial spark for an offense that had been struggling to move the ball.
