The Los Angeles Rams are in the midst of a battle for the NFC West title despite the fact that one of their star players didn’t know about the whole division thing.
“No, if I’m being honest with you guys, somebody told me we’re in the NFC West, so that’s good to know, I guess,” Puka Nacua told reporters Thursday. “Yeah, one day at a time is my mentality. I feel like I say that to you guys a lot, but then it’s whatever game we have coming up on Sunday or whatever the day that week it falls on.”
The news was so shocking to Rams head coach Sean McVay that he claims Nacua is making it all up.
“No, he didn’t. He was messing with you,” McVay said. “You’d have to give me the context, I think so. Isn’t that beautiful? See, that’s why… be like Puka. Just focus on what you can control and… hey, if that’s the case, I love him unconditionally. You know what though? There is a beauty in that in all seriousness.
“Let’s just say that’s the case. I know this, that guy is going to show up when we play the [San Francisco 49ers] ‘Niners’, the [Arizona] Cardinals, and the [Seattle] Seahawks, and shoot, if he thinks that we’re in the same division as the Eagles, then let’s show up against them too.”
The Rams (5-5) are in second place in the NFC West and are gearing up for a big Sunday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium.
