Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua is undoubtedly one of the best receivers in the NFL and one of the most exciting young players in the league. However, the wideout won’t be receiving any support from Jacksonville Jaguars fans, and it’s not because he doesn’t play for the team. Instead, it’s because he recently sent an unnecessary shot at the Jags.
Nacua recently did an online stream with internet personalities N3on and Adin Ross, and answered a ton of questions about the NFL. One of the questions was which likely playoff team is the most overrated.
The receiver didn’t have an immediate answer, but argued it was a team in the AFC, because “the AFC is not even that great.” After N3on read off the AFC teams in the playoff picture, Nacua settled on Jacksonville as the most overrated team headed into the playoffs.

Puka Nacua says Jaguars are the most overrated team in the playoff picture
Puka Nacua very easily could’ve avoided the question to not call out any franchise, but he opted to express his true thoughts. That was the case the entire stream, and some of his other responses have landed him in a bit of trouble. Nevertheless, the wide receiver feels a 10-4 Jacksonville team is overrated.
The receiver admitted he was a casual fan when it came to keeping up with the rest of the league, so his only real exposure to the Jaguars could be when his Los Angeles Rams blew out Jacksonville in London 35-7. That was back in Week 7, though, and it should also be noted that Nacua missed that game with an injury. Still, for whatever reason, he’s not a believer in the Jags.
Nacua may not be alone in this belief, though. Jacksonville hasn’t gotten much love this season, despite its impressive record. The team did run into a rough patch during the middle of the season, but the Jaguars have since won their last five games. People are starting to take notice, but it’s only one way to really demand respect: showing up in the postseason.
If Jacksonville puts together a nice postseason run, people will see the team isn’t being rated high enough. If things go really well, the Jaguars could have the opportunity to face off against Nacua in the postseason.
