In the end, it was Cooper Kupp who was the star. That’s why he was named the MVP. No one deserved it more.
This is when the most elite player shows why he’s the one of the best players in his sport: When everyone from the opposing defensive players to the fans in the stadium to the vendors selling beer and hotdogs to the parking attendants outside the stadium know the ball is going to him and still no one can do anything to stop him.
Their quarterback Matthew Stafford, for whom the Rams mortgaged the present and future to acquire in an offseason trade because they believed he was the missing piece to winning a title, engineered another game-winning drive. With 6:13 remaining in the game and the Rams trailing 20-16, Rams coach Sean McVay told Stafford: “You and Coop go get this thing done.’’AFP via Getty Images“That’s hard work, that’s hours together,’’ Stafford said. “Coach kept calling plays for him, kept finding ways to get him the ball. He made unbelievable plays. That’s what he does.’’Said McVay: “Those guys took over that game.’’
It was Kupp’s 7-yard gain on a fourth-and-1 jet sweep run from the Rams own 30-yard line trailing 20-16 with five minutes remaining that kept the dream alive. “Odell went down and Coop made some unbelievable plays on that last drive,’’ Stafford said. “On that last play, I was so happy they were playing man [coverage], I was going to throw the ball to my man and he made a great play.’’There are few guarantees in sports.
