Cooper Kupp is almost impossible for a cornerback to cover. He’s also incredibly difficult to get on the ground once he does make a catch.
The Falcons learned that on Sunday, failing to slow down the Rams’ superstar receiver. Having already caught one touchdown pass earlier in the game, Kupp scored a second time later on when Stafford hit him in the flat and he shook a defender with a slick juke.
Look at this move he put on Jaylinn Hawkins, sending the safety to the turf like he was on ice skates.

Kupp caught all of his first seven targets for 72 yards and two touchdowns, continuing his hot start to the season after pulling in 13 receptions last week.
