The Los Angeles Rams have a huge clash to open Week 16 on Thursday Night Football.
They travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in a game that very likely will decide the NFC West Division title.
The Rams are expected to be without Davante Adams, which raises the spotlight on Puka Nacua more than usual.
Nacua has also been bringing the spotlight on himself this week with a number of different off-the-field comments.
There was added concern for Nacua this week after he left Sunday's game briefly with what appeared to be an awkward injury, but one that didn't keep Nacua sidelined for long, even as he returned with a bit of a limp.

Is Puka Nacua playing tonight?
Yes, Puka Nacua is expected to play on Thursday Night Football.
He didn't even end up on the Rams' injury report.
Nacua should be the center of the defensive attention for the Seahawks, but that won't stop him from playing a big game. Rams QB Matthew Stafford doesn't have much choice but to keep feeding him the football.

In his last two games, Nacua went for 167 and then 181 receiving yards.
On the season, he has 102 catches for 1,367 yards.
For the Rams to win Thursday night, Nacua will have to continue his strong performance.
