Rams' Nacua ejected for throwing punch in OT win

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua called his ejection for throwing a punch in the second quarter of Sunday's 26-20 overtime win against the Seattle Seahawks "a learning experience," saying he let his emotions get the best of him.

After quarterback Matthew Stafford's pass intended for Nacua was intercepted by cornerback Riq Woolen, Nacua got into a scuffle with linebacker Tyrel Dodson. Nacua threw a punch at Dodson and was ejected from the game.

Nacua said it was a "helpless feeling" watching the game inside the locker room, pointing to a small television in the corner where he viewed the Fox feed but listened to the Seahawks broadcast. The Rams came back to win in overtime after Seattle scored with less than a minute remaining in regulation.

"There were some things said earlier in the game and just letting my emotions get the best of me and reacting instead of responding kind of in that moment," Nacua said when asked what happened on the play. "I knew the play was down after the interception, and he just had some hands on me while I was trying to get blocked off.
