Make it three touchdowns in four possessions for the Rams’ offense. Quarterback Matthew Stafford connected on a deep pass with Puka Nacua for a 39-yard touchdown. After missing his last extra point very wide left, Joshua Karty connected on this one to make the score 20-3, Los Angeles, with 6:25 left in the second quarter.
Nacua missed the Rams’ win over the Jaguars before their Week 8 bye. But the wideout has returned in Week 9 as good as ever, catching six passes for 87 yards so far in the first half.
Nacua’s touchdown reception was a contested catch deep down the right sideline on first-and-10, with the wideout fighting his way into the end zone for his third touchdown of the season.
Stafford is now 15-of-18 for 164 yards with three touchdowns in the first half, good for a 144.2 passer rating.
