Los Angeles Rams fans can’t separate their stunning Super Bowl LVI celebration from the heroics of All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp. After all, he did win the prestigious Most Valuable Player honors at the conclusion of that game. And if you rewatch the team’s performance, you’ll notice that after Odell Beckham Jr.’s injury, Kupp was nearly the entire offense for the team in the second half.
Kupp didn’t just show up to claim the spotlight on the NFL’s biggest stage. He got them there first, then let his teammates deliver the coup de grâce. The running game was completely ineffective.
