Unlike last Rams-49ers meeting, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are hands on

LA Times  

They were two moments seemingly frozen in time, balletic catches by Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp that not only indicated the Rams offense could finally produce consistently but also could do it with panache. “And Puka showed last year he’s one of the best and he’s continued to prove that this year.” Nacua made his sideline catch against the Bills in the second quarter, snagging a perfectly placed pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford. “First thing I told Coop was, ‘I was like, man, I was a little horny in my route,’” Nacua said. “I think of the special moments I was able to share with my mom out there on that football field and what that meant to me in my football journey,” he said, adding, “I’m going to be super excited for whatever comes on Thursday.” Because of injuries the last few seasons and McVay’s decision to rest most starters in last season’s finale, Kupp has not played against the 49ers since Oct. 20, 2022.
