Puka Nacua's Post-Game Feast: Rams Star Craves Cheesesteaks After Eagles Victory

Following the Los Angeles Rams' dramatic 24-20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, October 4, 2026, wide receiver Puka Nacua expressed his delight not only with the win but also with the prospect of celebrating with Philadelphia's iconic cheesesteaks.

"I'm excited to get the win and to get on this plane and get up on outta here," Nacua said after the game. "Hopefully they have some Philly cheesesteaks for us."

Nacua, who returned from injury and recorded another 100-yard receiving performance in the game, confirmed that cheesesteaks were indeed available for the team on their flight home. He described his eagerness to enjoy the cheesy, carb-heavy meal, noting that he refrained from eating too much on game day.

"Oh, yes, there were!" Nacua exclaimed when asked about the post-game meal. "I'm not a big fan of eating too much on game day, so, man, I saw that melted cheese and a whole lot of carbs. I was ready to chow down."

The receiver further revealed his enthusiastic consumption of the celebratory food, admitting, "On the bus, getting off the plane, there were leftovers. I may have snagged one."

After contributing significantly to the Rams' win against the Eagles' defense, Nacua found satisfaction in indulging in the city's signature sandwich. The Rams are now set to face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills at SoFi Stadium on Monday Night Football, with another potential victory on the horizon.
