Puka Nacua is having himself a day against the Steelers, putting up huge numbers in just the first three quarters: eight catches and 154 yards. He made big play after big play, the best of which came in the second half on a deep ball from Matthew Stafford.
Nacua went up and somehow came down with the reception, tapping his toes along the sideline between two defenders – one of which was Minkah Fitzpatrick, who did everything he could to knock the receiver out of bounds.
The play was challenged by the Steelers but after review, it was upheld and stood as called on the field: a 32-yard reception for the rookie.
