On a weekend where leading NFL MVP candidates Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady were both eliminated from the postseason, a less-heralded candidate for the award moved on.
Wide receiver Cooper Kupp’s Los Angeles Rams beat Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-27, in a thrilling finish Sunday, and they did it in no small part due to the performance of Kupp himself.
The unanimous All-Pro selection caught nine passes for 183 yards and a touchdown in a 30-27 victory, including catches of 20 and 44 yards to set up the game-winning field goal. In a game that required each team’s biggest stars to make plays, Kupp made the biggest.
