LA Rams WR Cooper Kupp hit the Bengals like a whirlwind during Super Bowl LVI. He caught the game-winning touchdown pass, which gave the Rams a lead of 23-20 over the Cincinnati Bengals with just 1 minute and 25 seconds remaining. It slightly crippled the team’s receivers when the Rams lost Odell Beckham Jr. in a non-contact injury on the left knee during the second quarter.
Kupp was able to manage when OBJ was taken out of the game and showcased all qualities that an offensive player might have; even under pressure. The athlete was named as the MVP of Super Bowl LVI against the Bengals on Sunday.

Cooper further said: “I’m just in that moment you’re talking about. It was just so undeserving of what’s in that moment because, the people that I’ve been able to play with; people that I’ve been around and the players that I get to play with, they’re coming to work with every single day; The coaches that I get to work with to, collaborate with. It’s just been the perfect team, the perfect setup. I am just so thankful for everyone that’s been around me.”
Cooper Kupp will be remembered for his game-winning touchdown.
But he should not have been in the game.
He should've been in the #concussion protocol. 2 plays earlier this flagged helmet-to-helmet hit made him unable, or at best unwilling, to stand up. Bad message for the kids pic.twitter.com/a2G8LAlpny
