    CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It was the type of play that Puka Nacua has made look routine this year. Go ball, perfect throw from Matthew Stafford, likely ending in a touchdown to put the Rams up 10 before halftime in their wild-card round playoff game against the Carolina Panthers.
    Instead, the unthinkable: Nacua dropped the pass, the ball bouncing off his reliable hands. Nacua lay on the turf at Bank of America Stadium, not in physical pain but instead in mental anguish.
