McVay: WRs Tutu Atwell, Puka Nacua step up

The Rams trailed 13-7 at halftime, but they scored the final 23 points of the game with wide receivers Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua playing a major role. Each of them posted 119 receiving yards as part of a big return to action for quarterback Matthew Stafford and head coach Sean McVay showered both wideouts with praise in his postgame comments.

With Kupp out of action for at least three more weeks, Atwell and Nacua could continue to get targets and touches.
