Nacua finished with a team-high nine receptions for 165 yards and a touchdown, but he stressed missed chances on the Rams’ drives, including a red-zone shot that didn’t connect and several third-down opportunities that he wished the unit had capitalized on.
Stafford’s third-down targets to Nacua were 0-for-3, although one pass was negated by a Seattle penalty and the next play produced a Rams touchdown. Nacua said the sequence underscored the missed chances to avoid difficult—often fourth-down—situations and to sustain drives.
The wide receiver credited Stafford with a phenomenal performance, praising his ability to read defenses and place the ball where it was needed. He also acknowledged the importance of avoiding early miscommunications and hoped for better execution on a potential late-game connection.
Looking ahead, Nacua confirmed plans for the offseason, including time with teammates and preparation for next season. The Rams’ lead receiver, who led the NFL in receptions during the regular season and is extension-eligible this offseason, indicated he expects to return to work soon and remain focused on continuing to improve for LA.
