Cooper Kupp has been Mr. Reliable for the Rams all season long, and that didn’t change in the finale against the 49ers. With just over 2 minutes left in the game, Kupp came through with another clutch catch to give the Rams the lead over San Francisco.
On third-and-4, Matthew Stafford threw it up for Kupp in the corner of the end zone with two defenders on him. Yet, Kupp somehow came down with the catch for the touchdown, putting the Rams up 24-17 late.
This came a few plays after Kupp made a 30-yard reception on third down to keep the drive alive and put the Rams in position to score.
The 9️⃣➡️🔟 connection gives us the lead!
