There is certainly no love lost between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, especially after their three-round battle last season. Puka Nacua has even grown to hate the Rams’ rival in the Pacific Northwest, saying as much on a podcast with Logan Paul recently.
During that interview with Paul, Nacua called out one player in particular as someone he doesn’t much care for: safety Julian Love.
“Everybody on the Seahawks. Everybody over there can get the smoke at any time. Forget the Seahawks. I hate everybody over there,” Nacua said. “I’m like, there’s no friends over there. I think the No. 1 guy, Julian Love over there, I think is his name. He plays safety. We’re not friends. He’s taken a couple shots at me, like, midgame, and I definitely find my opportunities to get back at him in the game, too.”
On Tuesday, Love responded during his press conference when asked about Nacua’s shot at him. He was a little bit surprised that Nacua name-dropped him, but it’s also to be expected because they’re division rivals.
“Surprised? Maybe a bit,” Love said. “But expected. Division rival. We’ve obviously had some tough games. Play hard. But yeah, definitely funny that he name-dropped me.”
Rams WR Puka Nacua recently said of the Seahawks on the Impaulsive Podcast, “I hate everyone over there.” He specifically mentioned Love.

Nacua and Love will square off again this season in two highly anticipated matchups between the Rams and Seahawks – both in the last three weeks of the season. Their first meeting will come in Week 16 on Christmas night, followed by a rematch in the season finale in Week 18.
Rivalry games always get a little bit chippy, but after the season both teams just had in 2025, there’s some added motivation on each side.
