After the most dramatic and polarizing week of his NFL career, Los Angeles Rams’ Puka Nacua had one of the best games of his career in Seattle on Thursday night. He caught twelve passes for 225 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The Rams fell short, though, blowing a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter, which was aided by a controversial two-point call in which Sam Darnold seemingly threw an incompletion that was whistled down only for it to be overturned as a fumble picked up for a conversion.
Nacua, who recently got into hot water for going on stream with Kick livestreamer Adin Ross and openly denouncing the officials for making wrong calls for “television time,” went onto social media immediately following the game to call out the NFL and its official staff.

In a now-deleted post on X, Nacua stated:
“Can you say i was wrong. Appreciate you stripes for your contribution. Lol.”
It was a devastating loss for Nacua and the Rams, who would have had over a 90% chance to not only win the NFC West but the No. 1 seed and the all imortant first round bye in the playoffs.
They will now need to rely on help from around the league to have a chance to skip the wildcard round of the postseason.

For Nacua, it continues the fervor around every move he makes on and off the field.
The Rams will return home to Los Angeles before traveling to the Atlanta Falcons two Sundays from now, following Christmas, looking not only to get back in the win column but also to improve their draft position, as they own the Falcons’ 2026 first-round selection.
