Puka Nacua Appeared To Be Crying His Eyes Out On The Sideline After Major F**k Up vs. Panthers [VIDEO]

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is easily one of the best pass catchers in the entire NFL. That is why he had social media so shocked over what he did against the Panthers.

The Los Angeles Rams’ wide receiver dropped a golden opportunity to snag a 46-yard TD pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford. It was the kind of play that could come back to haunt the team later.

At the time, Los Angeles was trying to get into scoring position with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first half. Instead of completing it and scoring, the Rams were forced to punt it away.

The completion would’ve almost certainly given L.A. the shot at a 10-point lead heading into the break. After the incompletion, Puka Nacua was seen seated on the bench and being consoled by Sean McVay. He appeared to be crying over the dropped pass.

It was nice to see McVay having his back after previously being upset over his deleted tweet.

Nacua was named first-team All-Pro just before kickoff. He certainly did not prove it on that play.
