Rams’ Kupp ready for big game?

The Los Angeles Rams are on a roll as they look to improve and solidify their playoff hopes, but they must first get past the New York Jets. The Jets are coming off a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it’s safe to say this Rams team is no Jaguars.

The Rams have one of the best wide receiver duos in the league with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. But as the media and quarterback Matthew Stafford have found out more about Nacua in recent games, the question becomes, is Week 16 a good opportunity for Kupp to remind people how good he is?

Kupp has dealt with an injury this season but has found his way into 10 active games. In those 10 games, Kupp has recorded 63 receptions and 657 receiving yards. His 63 receptions lead the Ram’s offense, as he trails only Nacua in receiving yards this year.

Much to the dismay of Rams fans last week, Kupp did not play in the game, even though the Rams were victorious. With only three goals in the game and zero balls, such a performance is unusual for what Kupp usually does in these rivalry games.

Kupp has three 100-yard receiving games for the Rams this season, two of which ended in wins. Prior to his zero-yard performance against the San Francisco 49ers, Kupp recorded 92 receiving yards on five receptions in the shootout between the Rams and Buffalo Bills.

Given the track record fans have seen from Kupp and the lack of involvement last week, Kupp could be put in prime position to be the star wide receiver against the New York Jets. Kupp hasn’t had much success in his career against the New York Jets, but that might not end until Sunday.

In his only game against the Jets, Kupp had five balls for 39 yards, leading to the win Rams Loss. While the two teams have changed a lot since they last met, the Rams could find plenty of ways to put the Jets on the ropes early and could easily capitalize on a strong performance from Kupp.
