Cooper Kupp listing the technicalities of the play

Kupp spoke with NFL Network’s Bridget Condon after the Rams’ 37-7 victory against the Jaguars on Sunday at the SoFi Stadium. On his 29-yard touchdown reception which came in the third quarter, he was asked just what he observed.

“Yeah, they had a little, three-deep fire zone,” Cooper replied confidently. “Brought the nickel off the edge, safety dropped down. They didn’t look like they were doing a replacement fire zone, so I knew with the back away, we were going to get three pushing through that had an opportunity to kind of run there if I could beat my guy, just had to beat the safety to the end zone.”
