Puka Nacua now leads all WRs in NFL history in this statistic image

The Los Angeles Rams have been a problem for opponents all season long. At 11-3, they look down not just on the rest of the NFC West, but the NFC as a whole. 

Securing the 1st seed is no small task, and thanks to multiple factors, they've looked like one of the top Super Bowl contenders for much of the season. 

Obviously, you have to start with Sean McVay, who's consistently been one of the best coaches in the league throughout his entire career.

You can then look at their defense, which has been among the league's best this season, being graded first as a unit by PFF. Their offense has also been stellar, led by Matthew Stafford and their freakishly talented 1-2 punch of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

Nacua suffered an injury in their Week 15 game against Detroit, but it seems like he'll be okay.

They'll certainly need him moving forward, because many might not know that he's now the all-time leader in NFL history in this key statistic. 

Puka Nacua leads all WRs in NFL history in YPG

In the NFL's existence, it's likely never been a more opportune time to be a WR than right now. Passing of the football is at an all-time high, and the league rules allow modern-day receivers to run routes without any of the fear that plagued their predecessors. 

Nacua has taken full advantage of the modern era. 

He now leads all WRs in NFL history in YPG with 93.7. An absolutely outstanding mark that edges out greats like Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and Calvin Johnson. 

When you pair the all-time leader in YPG with the NFL's current league leader in receiving TDs this season in Davante Adams, you see why Matthew Stafford has been able to have the MVP-caliber season he has. 

Hopefully for Los Angeles, both Nacua and Adams are fully healthy and ready for a deep playoff run in the next three weeks.
