NFL Week 6, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
7. Kupp records fifth-straight game with 100+ yards
Despite coming off a second loss in a row, the Los Angeles Rams have plenty of reasons to be thrilled over the progress made by Cooper Kupp since suffering a torn ACL last November.
Throughout the offseason, the main focus surrounding the Rams in the injury department was on Todd Gurley and his knee, but every update with Kupp seemed to be a positive one.
Since catching seven passes for 46 yards in a Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers, Kupp has been on fire for Los Angeles in the passing game by catching 34 passes for 459 yards to go along with four touchdowns.
Looking back at the draft in 2017, Kupp will easily go down as one of the biggest steals, and it’s tough to imagine where this Rams’ offense would be without him.
With Los Angeles arguably facing a must-win situation on Sunday with the San Francisco 49ers coming to town, Jared Goff will most likely be heavily relying on one of his favorite targets once again.
At the rate Kupp is going, it seems like the Rams wideout will only need a couple of more games to set new career highs across the board.
But most importantly, if Kupp goes for 100+ receiving yards for a fifth game in a row, Los Angeles could end up handing San Francisco their first loss of 2019.
