Los Angeles Rams rookie Puka Nacua didn’t have a lucky Week 1, as it turns out.
After an impressive debut where he had 10 catches for 119 yards, Nacua followed it up with an even better performance that made NFL history.
Nacua caught 15 of his 20 targets from quarterback Matthew Stafford, amassing 147 yards in the game against the San Francisco 49ers. This broke the record for most receptions by a rookie in a single game.

This broke the previous record held jointly by Roy Helu, Saquon Barkley, and Najee Harris.
Nacua also became the first rookie to achieve double-digit receptions in each of his first two NFL games.
49ERS FORCE CRUCIAL TURNOVERS TO HOLD OFF RAMS TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED
But the Rams couldn’t secure another victory, despite Nacua’s contributions on offense. The 49ers managed to force crucial turnovers and came away with a 30-23 win, leaving the Rams with a 1-1 record for the season.
