Rams WR Cooper Kupp (hamstring) being placed on IR; to miss at least 12th straight game

I believe he was 3-7 for 18 yards throwing to "other receivers" on that Super Bowl winning drive.
4-4 for 39 yards, three defensive penalties and the game winning TD throwing to Kupp.

Top QBs look to their top receivers for good reason.

Well, today he doesn't have his top receiver, and won't at least until week 5. It's up to him to adapt to that.

He'll light it up if he gets protection, notably in the form of a running attack.

I think he's capable for sure, even more so if we get the running game going.

I could just be remembering wrong but I was thinking Goff kind of did the same thing and would force it to Kupp a lot as well. Really the difference was we had a better run game with Gurley until he got hurt.

Difference is we had Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks and not a total diagnosed Mcvay offense for much of that time. People weren't totally keying in on Kupp. He was getting the dime or nickel constantly.
