The Los Angeles Rams are one of the dangerous teams in the NFL, and they showcased that in a one-sided stomp against the New Orleans Saints. Among the impressive plays, what the Rams fans loved the most was Cooper Kupp's impressive reception that went for 66 yards.
Fans who saw the game live couldn't help but cheer when they saw it unravel in front of their eyes. Moreover, the NFL Twitter account tweeted the moment with the same amount of awe.

It was supposed to be a run that will get the chains moving and give the Rams a new set of downs. However, Kupp showed everyone that he would have made a difference at Super Bowl LIII if he wasn't injured.
He stiff-armed the safety that was trying to take him down. More Saints players came his way, trying to stop him, but the 6'2″, 2018lb man refused to be stopped. He kept on trucking through the defense, causing the shouts to get louder.
He eventually got taken down, but it was too late as he managed to reach the end zone by then.
The fans began celebrating the incredible piece of play they just witnessed, but the cheers immediately turned to groans when the supposed touchdown play was discounted by the referees.
Kupp suffered an ACL tear against the Seattle Seahawks in 2018, forcing him to miss the team's incredible run to the Super Bowl. Reports said he became “more explosive” since the injury, but no one had a real grasp of how good he was until this play happened.
While it's regrettable that the play wasn't considered a touchdown, it's a warning signal to all of the defensive ends of the NFL: Kupp is back and out for blood.
