""The refs are the worst," Nacua said. "... Some of the rules aren't ... These guys want to be ... these guys are lawyers. They want to be on TV too. You don't think he's texting his friends in the group chat like, 'Yo, you guys just saw me on Sunday Night Football. That wasn't PI but I called it.'""
""I mean, these guys are normal human beings too, bro.""
"NFL players can be subject to fines for publicly criticizing officials."
Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua expressed belief that some NFL referees make calls to gain television attention, suggesting officials sometimes seek visibility and even message peers after high-profile broadcasts. The remarks took place during a livestream with internet streamers Adin Ross and N3on. The NFL can fine players for public criticism of officials; fines were imposed on Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid in December 2023, and a $25,000 fine to Texans running back Joe Nixon in January was later rescinded. The Rams (11-3) will face the Seahawks (11-3) in Seattle on Thursday Night Football for first place in the NFC West.
