Puka Nacua Labels Jaguars as NFL’s Most Overrated Team

LA Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has made headlines by declaring the Jacksonville Jaguars the “most overrated” team in the NFL for the 2025 season. Nacua, who is enjoying a standout third year, has been instrumental in bolstering quarterback Matthew Stafford‘s MVP credentials. The Rams currently hold an impressive record of 11-3, positioning them as serious contenders for both the NFC West title and the top seed in the conference.

In a recent appearance on an Adin Ross stream, Nacua discussed the competitive landscape of the league. He highlighted several teams, including the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, and Los Angeles Chargers, but ultimately singled out the Jaguars for his criticism. This statement comes as the Jaguars, who advanced to the divisional round in the 2022 playoffs, have struggled to maintain consistency in recent seasons.

The Jaguars finished the 2023 season with a 9-8 record and faced a dramatic decline in 2024, ending with a dismal 4-13 record. This led to the departure of head coach Doug Pederson. In an effort to turn things around, the organization hired Liam Coen from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Currently, the Jaguars sit at the top of the AFC South with a 10-4 record, having secured significant victories against teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

As the Jaguars prepare for their pivotal matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 17, their performance will be critical in the lead-up to the playoffs. The Broncos, currently boasting a 12-2 record, represent a formidable challenge. This game is anticipated as a crucial test for both division leaders.

Meanwhile, Puka Nacua and the LA Rams are set to face the Seattle Seahawks to kick off Week 16 on Thursday. Both teams are tied at 11-3, making this matchup vital for their playoff aspirations. The Rams narrowly defeated the Seahawks in their previous encounter in Week 11, securing a 21-19 victory that propelled them to the division lead.

Nacua’s individual performance this season has been remarkable. In 13 games, he has accumulated 102 receptions on 129 targets, totaling 1,367 yards and finding the end zone six times. As the season progresses, both Nacua and the Rams aim to solidify their place among the league’s elite teams.

With the playoffs on the horizon, the spotlight will be on both the Rams and the Jaguars to see if they can live up to the expectations surrounding them.
