Veteran receiver Cooper Kupp caught just three passes for 17 yards but set an NFL record for most catches in his first 100 games.

Kupp has 625 catches, one more than the Chicago Bears’ Keenan Allen in his first 100 games.

“It’s cool to be part of an organization that has put me in a position to do this,” Kupp said, adding, “We’re all asked to just do our jobs.”… Man Got to play with a lot of really good football players, be part of a lot of good coaches and just be thankful for the people I was able to play this game with.”

Kupp, the 2021 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, has 58 receptions this season, including five for touchdowns.

On Sunday, receiver Puka Nacua had five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown.

Receiver Demarcus Robinson, who was not suspended by the Rams after he was arrested last Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence, caught two passes for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Robinson’s 46-yard catch set up his three-yard touchdown reception, increasing the ninth-year pro’s career-best touchdown total to seven.

“He’s an important part of our team and our organization,” quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “I’m glad he came out and had success.”

Robinson had to leave the game due to a hand injury, but coach Sean McVay indicated the issue was not serious.
