INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua set the NFL single-game record for most receptions by a rookie with 15 catches for 147 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Nacua broke the record with a 17-yard reception late in the fourth quarter.
Nacua, a fifth-round pick out of BYU, also became the first rookie to have double-digit receptions in his first two games.
He had 10 receptions for 119 yards in last week's 30-13 win at Seattle.
Nacua's 25 receptions are also a new overall league mark for a rookie in his first two games.
