Matthew Stafford was hobbled. The Los Angeles Rams had given up 23 straight points and the game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday was in overtime.
Puka Nacua to the rescue.
The incredible story of the rookie wide receiver continued as he caught a TD pass from the veteran QB in overtime to give the Rams a 29-23 road victory.

The Rams had taken a 23-0 lead only to see Anthony Richardson lead a Colts comeback that saw Indy tie the game on a TD pass to Drew Ogletree with 1:56 left and a 2-point conversion.
The Rams took the kickoff in the extra session and marched 75 yards with the finishing touch a 22-yard pass to Nacua for his first NFL touchdown.
