5 reasons Rams will win Super Bowl 56
No. 3: Cooper Kupp
The Cincinnati Bengals have an elite wide receiver in Ja’Marr Chase, and overall, they have an excellent group of receivers that also includes Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. While the Rams have an elite cornerback to cover Chase on Sunday, the Bengals will likely put Mike Hilton on Kupp, and that could be dangerous for Cincinnati.
Hilton is a solid cornerback, he has struggled in coverage this season, and Kupp is the kind of wide receiver that can easily exploit any weak tendencies of the man lined up across from him. Kupp took the NFL by storm this season, leading the league in receiving yards with nearly 2,000, and if Hilton struggles against him in Super Bowl LVI, it could be the difference between winning and losing.
Based on their offense, and how much Matthew Stafford trusts him, you have to believe that Kupp is going to be the No. 1 target for the Rams on Sunday inside SoFi Stadium. If he goes off, you can pretty much hand the Lombardi Trophy to Los Angeles, and the likelihood of him doing so is great.
