The NFL has disciplined Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua following public remarks criticizing officiating. The league fined Nacua after determining his comments violated its policy prohibiting players from publicly questioning officials.

NFL Insider Mike Garafolo reports that Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been fined $25k for comments on officiating as head coach Sean McVay along with Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL reporter Omar Ruiz give their thoughts on the situation.

After dropping out of the 99 Club in Week 12, Justin Jefferson suffered yet another points loss in the Week 15 ratings update for Madden NFL 26. The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver had three points deducted from his total, bringing him down to 95 OVR.

Puka Nacua may have felt vindicated after watching what the refs did when signaling that Cooper Kupp made a catch late.

Stafford and Nacua's efforts were unfortunately not enough to lift the Rams over the Seahawks, as they fell to Seattle in a 38-37 overtime battle that required a walk-off two-point conversion to settle. The loss moves Los Angeles to 11-4 on the season and puts them behind Seattle in the divisional title race.

The Seattle Seahawks overcame three turnovers and a 225-yard performance by Puka Nuca, rallying past the Los Angeles Rams to clinch a playoff spot.
