Rams WR Puka Nacua ejected for punching Seahawks LB Tyrel Dodson

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ejected on Sunday for throwing a punch at Seattle Seahawks linebacker Tyrel Dodson.

The punch took place as the Seahawks held a 6-3 lead late in the second quarter. Matthew Stafford targeted Nacua on a downfield pass on first-and-10 from the Los Angeles 44-yard line.

Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen intercepted the ball at the Seattle 25-yard line and was down by contact. Woolen tried to return the ball, apparently not realizing that he was down.

Dodson engaged with Nacua to block him as Woolen ran with the ball.
