Puka Nacua Hits Rare 8-Catch Streak, Now Leads NFL in Receptions and Yards

A 13-catch, 170-yard performance in a comeback over the Colts has him pacing toward single-season records.

Overview

  • Officially the third player to record 8+ receptions in each of his team’s first four games, joining Eric Moulds (2002) and T.J. Houshmandzadeh (2007).
  • Logged 13 catches for 170 yards and a game-tying 9-yard TD in a 27-20 win over Indianapolis, with 15 targets and multiple third-down conversions.
  • Through four games he leads the league with 42 receptions and 503 receiving yards as Los Angeles improves to 3-1.
  • Briefly left Sunday with a thumb issue before returning; Sean McVay said he is “gonna be all right,” and Nacua said postgame he felt fine.
  • At his current averages, he projects to roughly 178.5 catches and 2,137.75 yards over 17 games, which would surpass the single-season records.
