More history? Former BYU WR Puka Nacua joins Odell Beckham Jr. and other elite company after record-breaking game

Nacua had 154 yards on eight catches against the Steelers.

Puka Nacua has put his name in the NFL rookie record book almost every week this season.

But how about this for some elite company?

After the former BYU wide receiver caught eight passes for 154 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Nacua has two games of over 150 yards.

The only other rookies to accomplish that feat were Odell Beckham Jr., Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson.

It was Nacua’s fourth game of over 100 yards.

In total, Nacua has 752 yards and 58 receptions in seven weeks. This play, a catch down the sideline from quarterback Matthew Stafford, caught people’s attention in a 24-17 loss.

The only other rookie to go over 700 yards in his first seven games was Chase back in 2021.

The Rams will visit the Dallas Cowboys next week.
