As we continue our recap of the 2024 season, theRams.com will look back on the top five offensive plays and top five defensive plays by the team.
Here's the best of the offense:
5) WR Puka Nacua's diving touchdown catch vs. Patriots
Quarterback Matthew Stafford floated the ball where only Nacua could get it – he just needed a diving effort to do so for the 12-yard touchdown.
4) WR Cooper Kupp's 69-yard touchdown catch vs. Patriots
The middle of the field opened, and all Kupp had to do was beat the safety one-on-one downfield. Once he did, there was nothing but green grass in front of him after hauling in Stafford's perfectly timed pass for the explosive score.
3) Nacua's bubble screen touchdown catch vs. Bills
Taking it 19 yards to the house, Nacua benefitted from a well-timed block by Kupp that gave him the necessary space to execute the play. It was Nacua's second and final touchdown of the day, and ultimately the game-winner in a 44-42 victory over Buffalo at SoFi Stadium.
2) TE Tyler Higbee's touchdown catch vs. Jets
Making his season debut more than 11 months after a major knee injury, Higbee connected with Stafford for the go-ahead, 11-yard touchdown grab against the Jets in an eventual 19-9 victory.
1) Stafford's overtime walk-off touchdown pass to WR Demarcus Robinson vs. Seahawks
The only thing more impressive than the throw was Robinson's concentration to both make the catch and hold onto the football through the end of the play. It extended a much-needed Rams win streak coming out of their bye to three games, and was also pivotal in having the upper hand over Seattle for breaking the tie for the NFC West title later on in the season.
