It looks like Puka Nacua, the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> budding star rookie, didn\u2019t get lucky in Week 1 after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nacua, a fifth-round pick out of BYU by the Rams this past April, shocked the NFL world last week when he had 10 catches for 119 yards in Los Angeles\u2019 win over the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>. But Nacua followed it up with an even better performance that had NFL history tied to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nacua hauled in 15 of his 20 targets from Stafford against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, totaling 147 yards. Those 15 receptions are the most by a rookie in a single game in NFL history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The record, which was held by Washington\u2019s Roy Helu, New York Giants\u2019 Saquon Barkley<\/a> and Pittsburgh\u2019s Najee Harris jointly, was broken when Nacua hauled in a 17-yard catch late in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Nacua is also the first rookie to have double-digit receptions in each of his first two NFL games.<\/p>\n

49ERS FORCE CRUCIAL TURNOVERS TO HOLD OFF RAMS TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not all. Nacua\u2019s 25 receptions on the year is a new league record for a rookie in his first two games. 49ers legend Earl Cooper had the record at 19 in 1980.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rams couldn\u2019t capture another victory, though, despite Nacua\u2019s efforts on offense. The 49ers were able to force crucial turnovers to eventually come away with a 30-23 win to move to 2-0, while the Rams fell to 1-1 in the early season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nacua\u2019s emergence as Stafford\u2019s top option comes as Cooper Kupp, the 2021 Offensive Player of the Year as the Rams\u2019 top receiver, is on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Kupp\u2019s absence left many questions for how the Rams would start the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nacua is not only filling that absence \u2013 he\u2019s thriving because of it.<\/p>\n

Head coach Sean McVay clearly likes what Nacua has brought to his receiving corps. And knowing his offensive mind, he will be sure to get both Nacua and Kupp involved when the latter returns into the fold.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see what Nacua can do in his third NFL game next week when the Rams travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals on “Monday Night Football.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
