NFL fans from all over the world are eagerly awaiting the Monday showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. The NFL has given us our heroes, our stars, but all those stars started somewhere; they were all rookies once who were given a shot to prove themselves, and they made the most of it.
It seems that another star is rising for the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie Puka Nacua has taken each opportunity with both hands; he has been proving himself time and time again, destroying all rookie records one by one. Puka Nacua is on this record-breaking streak and it seems that he will be playing in the upcoming Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers on Monday, as he is on the verge of breaking more rookie records.
Is Puka Nacua playing against 49ers?
Based on the stats that Puka Nacua holds currently, there is a huge chance that he will be playing against the 49ers. He is currently only 28 yards away from breaking the NFL rookie record for most receiving yards. Breaking the rookie records would not just be beneficial for the player but also for the team’s brand. That said, the Los Angeles Rams have high chances of letting our rookie star play against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Rams are also expected to sit WR Cooper Kupp, DT Aaron Donald, RB Kyren Williams, TE Tyler Higbee, LB Ernest Jones and OT Joe Noteboom. Matthew Stanford will get a chance to rest before the playoffs, while the Rams are expected to start Carson Wentz in the playoffs.
While the match and it’s outcome would definitely be something to watch out for, one more thing that people would be vying for is rookie star Puka Nacua breaking records.
Puka Nacua on the verge of two rookie records
Puka Nacua, thanks to his explosive performance, is now close to breaking two different records. Nucua is 4 catches away from breaking the record for most catches every received by a rookie, and only 28 yards away from breaking the record for the most number of receiving yards by a rookie. The pace at which Puka Nacua is playing is really impressive and under favorable circumstances, he will break those records in the upcoming game.
