Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has drawn attention for his outspoken criticism of officiating following the team's narrow overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks. After posting and quickly deleting a pointed message aimed at referees on social media, Nacua's remarks have sparked controversy, marking the third time this week he has publicly questioned officials.

Earlier in the week, Nacua made critical comments about officiating during a livestream, suggesting referees seek attention and make questionable calls. These remarks are expected to result in a fine from the league. The week also saw Nacua apologize for a touchdown celebration gesture that was interpreted as perpetuating an anti-Jewish stereotype, prompting statements from both the player and the league condemning discrimination.

Despite the off-field distractions, Nacua delivered a standout performance in the game, recording 12 catches for 225 yards and two touchdowns, and refrained from repeating the controversial celebration.
