rushing twice for 6 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Nacua has multiple rushing attempts in each of the past three games.<\/p>\n<p>While the yardage was largely held in check on Sunday in Chicago, Nacua still received double-digit targets for the seventh consecutive game.<\/p>\n<p>He has had at least 25% of the team\u2019s targets in 10 straight games.<\/p>\n<p>Nacua was efficient in both games against Seattle during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>He caught 7 of 8 targets for 75 yards in Week 11.<\/p>\n<p>While that box score is not crazy, Nacua only ran 21 routes, accounting for 3.57 yards per route run, 29.6% of the team\u2019s targets, and 39.6% of the air yards.<\/p>\n<p>In Week 16, Nacua did stuff the stat sheet.<\/p>\n<p>He secured 12 of 16 targets for 225 yards and 2 touchdowns, posting 5.0 yards per route run, accounting for 33.3% of the team\u2019s targets and 36.9% of the air yards.<\/p>\n<p>Nacua did his damage from everywhere on the field in both matchups.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong>Davante Adams<\/strong> out in Week 16, Nacua played 71.8% of his snaps out wide after a 52.9% rate in the Week 11 matchup.<\/p>\n<p>On 44 routes out wide against Seattle this season, Nacua averaged 4.98 yards per route run.<\/p>\n<p>On 22 routes from the slot, he posted 3.68 yards per route run.<\/p>\n<p>For some added context for how much of an outlier Nacua is against this defense, Nacua's yardage in each game are most and second-most receiving yards Seattle has allowed to a wide receiver over their past 10 games.<\/p>\n<p>No other wide receiver has topped 57 yards in a game against them over that span.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"sf_postarticle_read\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"title-heading-center\">To continue reading this article<\/h3>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<p><p>and gain access to The
