Cooper Kupp took an opportunity on Sunday to remind everyone that he’s still one of the league’s best pass catchers. In the loss to Detroit, Kupp had a signature performance, hauling in 14 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. He also had two carries for 10 yards.
Speaking Monday about Kupp’s performance, Sean McVay had this to say about his star wideout.
“I’d say it just reiterates the way that I felt after the game: gutsy,” McVay said. “[He] was all over the field. [It] was what we needed just based on the circumstances. There were a lot of opportunities to be able to stretch people vertically, but the situation didn’t enable that. He had 14, did a good job competing without the ball, affected and influenced coverage. I think just his demeanor and disposition throughout the game, some of the things that he’s doing in between series with the guys that did have to step up. You can’t say enough about what he means to our football team. I thought he was excellent. He gave us a chance to be able to come away with a win.”
When you consider Kupp’s performance with a damaged offensive line, his play becomes even more impressive while the thoughts of the future should make Rams fans salivate.
