It hadn't been done since Joe Flacco in 2012. Before that it was Kurt Warner with these very same Rams back in 1999. It certainly only happens once in a blue moon but on Sunday night it happened again. An FCS player took home Super Bowl MVP honors. This year's accolade went to one Cooper Kupp and it was perhaps the most impactful one in recent memory.
Kupp's performance against the Bengals told anyone with even the slightest amount of football knowledge that he was more than deserving of the game's MVP. He caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns, most of which came on a final crunch-time drive for Los Angeles that will undoubtedly go down in Super Bowl lore.
