Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua made his 31st catch of the season on the first play of the game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, setting the record for the most catches by a rookie in his first four games.
Nacua set the record when he caught a 26-yard pass over the middle from Matthew Stafford.
The pass was high, but Nacua reached for it, then tipped the ball to himself to secure the catch.
The play helped to set up a touchdown run by Kyren Williams for his fifth score of the season and a 7-0 Rams lead.
Nacua, 22, was taken by the Rams in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Entering Sunday’s game at Indianapolis, Nacua led the Rams in both receptions (30) and yards (338) to help fill the void left by the injury absence of All-Pro Cooper Kupp.
