Cooper Kupp won the receiving triple-crown this season, leading the NFL in receptions, yards and touchdowns. Yet, the Buccaneers decided not to cover him on a critical third-and-20 play in the second quarter.
Kupp was left wide open down the right side and Matthew Stafford didn’t miss him, chucking it deep and completing the pass to his top receiver. Kupp beat everyone to the end zone to put the Rams up 17-3 on the Buccaneers, continuing what was an early onslaught by Los Angeles.
Kupp is already up to 87 yards and a touchdown on just two catches, burning the Buccaneers with this massive play in the first half.
Staff to @CooperKupp for a 70-YARD TD. Yeah, we're gonna watch this a few more times.
