Cooper Kupp has put together one of the best seasons ever by a wide receiver. Even with one game to go, he’s racked up 138 catches, 1,829 yards and 15 touchdowns, leading the NFL in all three categories.
He’s the first player in league history with 130 catches, 1,800 yards and 15 touchdowns, doing something that not even Jerry Rice or Randy Moss accomplished.
Entering Week 18, he’s still in pursuit of Calvin Johnson’s single-season receiving record, which was set in 2012. Johnson sits atop the list with 1,964 yards, breaking the mark that was previously held by Jerry Rice.
Kupp needs 136 more yards against the 49ers in Week 18 to top Johnson’s record, even though he said “it wouldn’t seem right” to do so in 17 games.
