Cooper Kupp did miss the Super Bowl LIII with an ACL injury and had to sit out the rest of the season. The victory in the NFC Championship game on Sunday gives him and his franchise a chance at redemption after three years. But amid all the celebration, Kupp recognizes that Woods was a big reason for reaching this point of the season. Both Kupp and Woods joined LA together in 2017. The wideout Kupp was drafted in the third round while Woods was signed as a free agent.
Bobby Trees was productive during his 9 games this season as he did record 556 receiving yards. Unfortunately, Woods did leave the game in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans with the horrific injury.
