Cooper Kupp was named MVP of Super Bowl 56 as his Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.
Kupp had +600 odds for the award per Tipico Sportsbook, the best of any non-quarterback in the game. The wide receiver finished with eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with less than two minutes to go.
Kupp likely beat out teammate Aaron Donald (+1300) for the award. Donald had four tackles, two sacks, three QB hits, and an impact beyond the box score as he took on several double teams throughout the game. Quarterback Matthew Stafford (+100) entered the game with the best odds for the award, but threw two interceptions in the game to go with 283 yards and three touchdowns.
