Nacua keeps moving the chains
Puka Nacua made 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, and the Los Angeles Rams beat the Washington Commanders 20-13 in Landover for their third win in a row. It was three catches short of the career-best 17 he posted against Buffalo in Week 5.
Matthew Stafford went 26 of 43 for 228 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Rams (5-4) took the lead for good with a 12-play, 65-yard drive in the fourth quarter. Stafford hit Nacua for 19 yards on third-and-11, and five plays later Nacua made a leaping catch in the corner of the end zone for a 7-yard score and a 20-13 edge with 12:51 left.
Nacua also ran twice for 20 yards.

Garrett wrecks the late Washington drives
Myles Garrett had three sacks and a forced fumble in his first action since Week 1, though he was also flagged twice. His biggest play came with 5:26 left. Washington started on its own 12 and crossed midfield, but Garrett dropped Jayden Daniels for a 12-yard loss on third-and-5, and the fourth-down pass fell incomplete.
The Commanders had one last shot from their 9 with 52 seconds left. Daniels found Stefon Diggs for 42 yards, then Jaden Bradley moved them to the Rams’ 31, but a deep ball was incomplete and a lateral came up far short.
Daniels finished 24 of 35 for 274 yards and a touchdown for Washington (2-5-1), which was chasing consecutive regular-season wins for the first time since the end of 2024. Earlier, Blake Corum’s 1-yard run put the Rams up 13-10 after a 69-yard opening drive of the second half, and Drew Stevens tied it at 13 from 41 yards after a Nick Cross interception.
