Micah Parsons Reacts: Rams Cooper Kupp Breaks Michael Irvin Record!
It was going to happen sometime or another, and now it did. The Los Angeles Rams won a back-and-forth battle against NFC West rival San Francisco with much help from a superb and historic performance from Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp during Sunday’s game…
CelebnSports247.com documents the game changing moment when the Rams won the NFC playoff game, but at the same time Cooper Kupp surpassed Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Michael Irvin with his 13th 100-yard receiving game in a season, an NFL record.
Rams Cooper Kupp, 28, made 11 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns helped the Rams punch their ticket to Super Bowl LVI and dazzled Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons.

Irvin’s electric season came in 1995 for the Super Bowl champion Cowboys, recording 12 100-yard receiving games, totaling 124 catches for 1,788 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Kupp, who has garnered MVP buzz, has a chance to extend the mark to 14 different 100-yard games in Super Bowl LVI, in which the Rams are four-point favorites over the Bengals. Kupp has the third-best odds (+700) to win Super Bowl MVP, only trailing both teams’ quarterbacks.
As QB Matthew Stafford’s go-to target, Kupp has totaled 1,965 yards from scrimmage, breaking that NFL record for a receiver as well.
Parsons also etched his name in the record books, posting a Cowboys franchise rookie record with 12 sacks. Parsons also tied the league-lead with 20 tackles for loss, making him a heavy favorite to win NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Congrats to Kupp!
