Nacua is listed at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds. But he plays bigger and stronger.

Nacua caught a short pass near the sideline in front of the Giants bench, spun from the grasp of cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, and then raced 80 yards before he finally was brought down at the two-yard line.

The play set up Kyren Williams’ second short touchdown run.

Nacua caught five passes for 118 yards, the seventh time he eclipsed 100 yards receiving this season.

He needs four catches and 29 yards receiving in the finale against the 49ers to break NFL rookie records.
