The defense carried the day in the Rams' win over Vegas, but the good news for the struggling offense is Cooper Kupp should return Thursday to face Vikings.
The Rams defeated the Las Vegas Raiders, 20-15, on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. What we learned from a victory that improved the Rams’ record to 2-4: Star receiver Cooper Kupp sat out a fourth consecutive game because of an ankle injury, but coach Sean McVay said he expected Kupp to be back for Thursday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings at SoFi Stadium. Kupp, 31, returned to practice last week and appeared on track to possibly play against the Raiders.
However, a rotation that includes cornerbacks Darious Williams, Cobie Durant and Josh Wallace and safeties Quentin Lake, Kamren Curl and Jaylen McCollough has produced big plays. The Rams gained only 258 yards against the Raiders and converted only two of 10 third downs. Stafford completed 14 of 23 passes for 154 yards, with an interception. For the second game in a row, he was hit 10 times.
