Overview
- The NFL fined Nacua $25,000 after he criticized officiating during an Adin Ross livestream and in a since-deleted post following the Rams’ 38-37 OT loss to Seattle.
- Speaking to reporters, Nacua called the penalty a learning experience and said he would never let it happen again, adding he must manage frustrations more productively.
- Nacua also apologized for an antisemitic gesture made on the livestream, with statements from the Rams and the league following the incident.
- McVay framed the episode as a teaching moment and said he is confident it won’t recur, while Stafford voiced support and urged responsible use of Nacua’s platform.
- The controversy did not affect his play; he posted 12 catches for 225 yards and two touchdowns vs. Seattle, and the playoff-bound Rams now prepare for Atlanta on Monday night.
