Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp made history on Monday night after breaking the franchise record for single-season receptions. Kupp logged his 120th reception of the season for the Rams as he helped his team to a convincing 20-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Kupp surpassed Rams icon Isaac Bruce for the franchise record which prompted a congratulatory message from the Hall of Famer. Kupp caught wind of Bruce's message and the 28-year-old WR quickly responded by heaping praise on Bruce:
You were part of setting the standard here for many years! Honored to even be mentioned alongside you. https://t.co/T0HxoPAXgN

It goes without saying that Kupp is currently having an amazing year with the Rams. The former East Washington standout is in the midst of his best season for LA and it's no coincidence that the Rams are currently sitting on a 10-4 record.
That's now three straight wins for the Rams following their huge victory over their divisional rivals, the Arizona Cardinals, in Week 14. Tuesday's win over the Seahawks was a re-scheduled matchup due to complications brought about by COVID-19 and for his part, Kupp is just proud of his team for being able to battle through adversity:
“Coming off a very big game against the Cardinals and then having all the stuff go on … it’s just being able to navigate the changes in your routine and still put together a game plan and execute when you don’t even know who’s going to play,” said Kupp, via the New York Post. “I just thought we did a good job handling that and walking out with a ‘W.’”
The Rams return to action on Sunday to take on the Minnesota Vikings as they look to secure their spot in the playoffs.
