The L.A. meltdown started long before the Rams’ special teams allowed the Seahawks back into the game Thursday night. It started because Puka Nacua was fooled by two childish livestreamers 48 hours earlier. Nacua participated in hurtful behavior for the sake of cheap laughs and creating viral content for his new buddies, who have made a lucrative living off controversy.
Nacua made plays Thursday night, but he failed his team and fans after his series of dumb decisions ahead of the showdown against the Seahawks. Nacua’s reputation took a hit after his appearance on the livestream, and many watching Thursday Night Football likely enjoyed seeing Nacua and the Rams blow a two-touchdown lead in the second half before completing the collapse in overtime with a 38–37 defeat.
