Puka Natsu gets the approval of the ‘fucking’ warrior
The Los Angeles Rams watched Just Natsu they set the tone for their own first quarter touchdown by Matthew Stafford. Then I saw him playing game guard in front Sean McVay — showing some rare defensive back skills on the Carolina Panthers.
Natsua disrupted disaster on the Rams side with this near-miss interception. The wide receiver became the cornerback who denied an end zone opportunity at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday.
Natsu dominated offensively. But McVeigh gave his star a strong four-word endorsement to Natsu after rejecting Carolina.
“He’s a fucking warrior,” McVay he told reporters after the 34-31 victory.
How Puka Natsua dominated the Panthers for the Rams
Natsua entered Saturday playing in just his fourth postseason game ever.
But now he has created new personal bests.
Nacua totaled 10 receptions — breaking his previous best of nine in a 2023 season loss to the Detroit Lions.
He also added another touchdown on a short 5-yard catch and run. But Saturday now marks the first time Natsua has scored twice in a playoff game. He even joined the legend of the franchise after second point per Rams Public Relations Department.
“Puka Nakua joins Marshall Faulk as the only Rams players to record a receiving and rushing TD in a postseason game,” Rams PR posted on social media website X, formerly Twitter.
Nacua finishes with 111 receiving yards – more than he tallied in both games against the Vikings and Eagles last season.
But Rams fans probably won’t be talking about touchdowns or yards. He’ll be embraced for making the key pass breakup that prevented the Panthers from getting an interception — and a potential upset.
