Puka Nacua has been fantastic for the Rams so far this season, making the loss of Cooper Kupp feel a bit less painful in the first two weeks. He continued to make plays in Week 3 against the Bengals, showing off his hands – or hand – in the first quarter on Monday Night Football.
Nacua hauled in a pass from Matthew Stafford with one hand, sticking his left arm out to make the grab for 8 yards and nearly a first down. It wasn’t the best throw by Stafford, but Nacua still made the play and made his quarterback look good.

Puka with the one-handed grab!
