Unlike last Rams-49ers meeting, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are hands on

They were two moments seemingly frozen in time, balletic catches by Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp that not only indicated the Rams offense could finally produce consistently but also could do it with panache.

In Sunday's victory over the Buffalo Bills, Nacua made a full-extension, toe-tap catch on the sideline that should be framed as artwork. Kupp's leaping acrobatic touchdown catch harked to the veteran's historic 2021 season.

It was not the first time the two receivers showed they were past injuries that sidelined them early this season. In a mid-November victory over the New England Patriots, both amassed more than 100 yards receiving.
