WATCH: Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua Catches Walk-Off TD In OT vs. Indianapolis Colts
What better time for Puka Nacua to catch his first career touchdown?
The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver ran a seam route, hauling in a wide-open throw from quarterback Matthew Stafford before muscling his way through multiple defenders into the end zone for a walk-off touchdown to beat the Indianapolis Colts 29-23 in overtime.
Nacua was a down-the-field threat for the Rams on their lone drive in overtime, hauling in a pair of passes from Stafford for 20 and 22 yards, respectively, putting together another great day at the office.
The rookie had nine receptions for 163 yards and the lone score against the Colts Sunday, continuing his historic start to his NFL career. Nacua's 39 catches are the most in the first four games to begin a career in league history, passing Anquon Boldin, who held the previous record with 30.
Nacua's first catch of the day was almost as exciting as his last.
Stafford stood tall in the pocket and delivered a strike down the seam to Nacua, who tipped the ball up in the air to himself for a 26-yard gain.
On the Rams' next drive, Nacua ran a deep crosser, gaining 26 yards on that catch as well. He took a shot from Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II, and like he's shown through the first three games, he had the strong hands to fight through the contact which was deemed an unnecessary roughness penalty.
Two of Nacua's receptions were called back on penalties, as only one pass that went his way fell incomplete.
Indianapolis held Nacua in check for the better part of the second half, but what is making him not just a one-hit wonder is his ability to show up when needed time and time again.
