Cooper Kupp was on the verge of going six straight quarters without catching a single pass, but he broke through in the second quarter for his first grab since Week 8. On a crucial third-and-6 – right after Kupp was called for a false start – Jared Goff hit him deep down the left side for a 50-yard gain.
It appeared Kupp got into the end zone for a touchdown, and it was ruled as so initially, but after review, the play was overturned.
It was ruled that Kupp fumbled it at the 1-yard line, just as he stepped out of bounds near the pylon. He’s fortunate the ball didn’t go another few inches to the right and through the end zone, which would’ve been a touchback.

It was Gurley’s 64th career touchdown, which pushed him past Jim Brown, Walter Payton and Maurice Jones-Drew for the second-most ever before a player’s 26th birthday.
