The Los Angeles Rams were expected to have Cooper Kupp back in the fold on Thursday night, but no one expected Puka Nacua to be back as well.
And they definitely didn’t expect him to rack up over 100 yards to help the Rams to a big 30-20 win over the NFC’s best team by record, the Minnesota Vikings.
Kupp, though, had 5 catches for 51 yards with his score in his first game since injuring his ankle in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals.
But there was massive controversy at the end of this game, as the Vikings’ final drive of the game ended with what appeared to be a facemask on quarterback Sam Darnold in the end zone.
Instead, officials completely missed Byron Young grabbing Darnold’s facemask, and it was ruled a safety instead.
With the Vikings down eight points in a two-minute drill, there was definitely enough time to get the ball downfield for a potential tie with a two-point conversion. But the drive, and the game, ended with the safety and a failed onside punt (if there is such a thing).
Also, for the Vikings, Aaron Jones added 58 yards on the ground and 37 through the air for 95 yards from scrimmage.
