Puka Nacua Takes On Bigger Role Within Rams Offense

After Nacua's speech, not only were the Rams able to do enough to defeat the Ravens, they then proceeded to go four for four in the red zone the following week, scoring four total touchdowns with Adams scoring three when they entered the critical area of the field.

Nacua spoke on the moment.

“I'd say it’s something that just came naturally through moments throughout the game," stated Nacua. "It was some of the frustrations and the emotions that we feel and the standard I feel like we hold ourselves to. We know how to operate. Especially in this offense, the things that we communicate throughout the week really does feel like we are truly preparing for the game reality as best as we can."

"It was something that I'm like, ‘Man, I know the standard that we all hold for ourselves is we want to get in that end zone.’ That’s something that continues to be a main point for us every single week. When we don't get in there, that moment of… I just think of my mom when she says, ‘I'm not mad at you, I'm disappointed.’ I'm like, ‘Alright, that's even worse.’ But yeah, I want to get in that end zone too.”

Nacua credits his new voice to having familiarity with the offense, familiarity with the people who run it, and the respect he's earned from them over the course of his career.
