What happened: Matthew Stafford connected with Puka Nacua for a catch during the BUFvsLAR matchup. The game aired on ESPN and streamed on NFLPlus.

Why it matters: The play extended a productive Stafford-to-Nacua partnership established in 2025. That existing timing makes their targets a measure of offensive rhythm.

What to watch: Further drives will show how often the offense looks back to Nacua. Third-down and red-zone targets are the next indicator to track.
