Cooper Kupp has broken record after record this season, becoming the first player to record 14 games of 90-plus yards in a season and setting the Rams’ record for the most receptions. But he’s still in pursuit of one mark that no one has touched since it was set in 2012.
Of course, it’s Calvin Johnson’s single-season receiving record. He put up 1,964 yards in 2012 with the Lions, catching passes from Kupp’s current quarterback, Matthew Stafford. Julio Jones came close to breaking it in 2015 when he had 1,871 yards, but Kupp is trying to become the one who tops Megatron.
He has an extra game to do so thanks to the NFL expanding the season to 17 games, but that doesn’t diminish the season he’s had. And the way he’s playing right now, it’s possible he’ll break it in 16 games.
