Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was fined $25,000 by the NFL for criticizing officials following the team's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks, an incident he stated he'll 'never let happen again.' Nacua also apologized for an antisemitic gesture. Despite these off-field issues, the second-time Pro Bowler is having a stellar season, leading the NFL with 114 catches and ranking second with 1,592 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns. He has been particularly effective on critical third- and fourth-down plays as the 11-4 Rams clinched a playoff spot.
