LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cooper Kupp was a driving force when the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl to cap the 2021 season, culminating with his winning touchdown catch.

“Nothing close to things that are happening in the real world,” Kupp said, “but it is an opportunity for us to draw closer together and say ‘let’s be able to respond from a little bit of hardship here and go out there and do something special.’”

Cooper Kupp and the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Minnesota Vikings 27-9 on "Monday Night Football," advancing to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. Kupp helped the Rams' offense produce 292 yards and 16 first downs on 5.7 yards per play. The former Offensive Player of the Year recorded one reception and 29 yards.

During the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl run three years ago, Cooper Kupp put together one of the best postseasons ever by a wide receiver. He set a record with 33 receptions, the most by a player in a single postseason,
