Cooper Kupp is finishing up one of the greatest seasons by a receiver in NFL history.
Here's how Kupp can become just the fourth receiver in NFL history to lead the league in every major receiving category and take home the receiving triple crown:
Kupp currently leads the NFL in receiving yards with 1,829. He's more than 300 yards ahead of Vikings' receiver Justin Jefferson who is in second. Once again, it would take a Herculean effort by Jefferson to surpass Kupp in this category, even if Kupp doesn't even record a catch on Sunday. Finally, Kupp leads all NFL receivers in touchdowns this season with 15. However, he's only two ahead of Cincinnati Bengals rookie' Ja'Marr Chase who has 13, and three ahead of Seattle Seahawks receiver D.K. Metcalf and Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike Evans who each have 12. All three of those receivers are in striking distance of Kupp, but if the Rams' receiver can find the end zone again on Sunday, that should be enough to secure the coveted triple-crown prize.
Yet when asked about his chance to topple two historic marks, Kupp says he would be the first to attach a Roger Maris-style asterisk to those achievements. Winning a triple crown is an achievement that isn't made easier by the extra game, and Kupp is in a strong position to join that club. “We’ve got so much confidence in him in everything we do, from a standpoint of the run and the pass and his impact on the game,” offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell said. “But what’s remarkable is that his catches and his targets and those things, there really hasn’t been a time where you look back on it and you feel like you’ve forced anything to him. It’s come in the rhythm of the offense and the rhythm of progressions.
