Nov 3, 2024, 10:54 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ejected from the game against the Seattle Seahawks after throwing a punch at Seahawks linebacker Tyrel Dodson. The incident occurred late in the first half after Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford's pass intended for Nacua was intercepted by Tariq Woolen. Following the interception, Nacua and Dodson engaged in a skirmish, leading to Nacua's ejection for unnecessary roughness. Before his ejection, Nacua had recorded one catch for 11 yards. Nacua expressed remorse after the game, stating that he let his emotions get the best of him and described the ejection as 'a learning experience.' He watched the remainder of the game from the locker room, describing it as 'a helpless feeling' as he was 'glued to this very small TV.' The Rams overcame the deficit, defeating the Seahawks despite Nacua's absence.
