Cooper Kupp put together one of the best games of his career in London to help the Los Angeles Rams defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 24-10.

One week after earning a statement win on the road over the Atlanta Falcons, the Los Angeles Rams were looking to keep the momentum going in London with what seemed like a favorable matchup against the winless Cincinnati Bengals.

This game may have turned out to be closer than expected for the Rams after hanging on for the 24-10 win to drop the Bengals to 0-8 on the season, but on a positive note, at least Cooper Kupp put together another monster performance on offense.

After watching his season end early last season as a result of suffering a torn ACL, Kupp has bounced back stronger than ever for Los Angeles in 2019, as the wideout is already on the verge of setting career highs across the board.

From finding the end zone twice back in Week 3 to help defeat the Cleveland Browns to recording four games in a row with more than 100 receiving yards, Kupp continues to find new ways to impress throughout the 2019 season.

But in London, Kupp may have put together the best performance of his young career after torching the Bengals’ defense for 220 yards and a touchdown on just seven catches, most of which came on his 65-yard score.

When taking into consideration that Los Angeles found themselves at a disadvantage early on in the game after Brandin Cooks was forced to leave with a concussion, Kupp stepping up shows just how much depth this offense has at wide receiver.

On most teams across the NFL, Kupp would be considered a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver on offense, so for the Rams to have him as their No. 3 option behind Cooks and Robert Woods shows just how fortunate Los Angeles truly is.

Kupp has come up big on numerous occasions on offense over the last three years, but thank goodness he was there to step up in London since this game against the Bengals surprisingly turned out to be much closer than expected.

Once Kupp and the Rams return from the bye week, it’s going to be fun to see what the second half of the regular season consists of for the former Eastern Washington star.

As mentioned before, Kupp was already on the verge of setting career highs across the board, and as long as he manages to stay healthy, the wideout should be able to crush them by the time the end of December rolls around.
