LOS ANGELES -- A New Orleans Saints legend was in the crowd at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum on Sunday, but he had reason to root for the Los Angeles Rams.

Jake Kupp, a guard for the Saints from 1967-75, attended the game and watched his grandson, Cooper Kupp, have the best performance of his rookie season.

A third-round pick by the Rams this year, Kupp had game highs of eight catches for 116 yards as he consistently found holes in the Saints defense in Los Angeles' 26-20 win.

And before the game, Kupp received some encouragement from his grandfather.
