GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Puka Nacua sprinted off the line of scrimmage, hesitated as if he was going to cut off the route, then blew past past the defender.

The ball slightly underthrown, the Los Angeles Rams receiver slowed down and soared above the defensive back before backing into the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown.

A master of tough catches, Nacua put on a show while finishing with seven receptions for 167 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 45-17 thumping of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

"To be able to win on the double move, some of the catches he's making — it's contested catches and he's pulling guys in —he's a freaking stud," Rams coach Sean McVay said. “I love Puka.”

It's hard not to — at least when he's on your team.
