From the episode

This entire offense to me is Puka. Please save us... if you pressure Matthew Stafford, and if you have a game plan to get close coverage or even like cap coverage on Puka Nakua, what more are they? What answers do they have for you?

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Puka Nakua is Rams' only escape valve; offense has no answers when he's covered.

Puka Nakua is the Rams' only reliable offensive answer; the entire offense depends on him as their escape valve. When the Cardinals applied tight coverage or cap coverage on Nakua, the Rams had no other answers, and the offense struggled significantly. The Rams' average receiver separation was 2.9 yards this game, the lowest of the season, making it extremely difficult for the offense to function.
