With Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back, Rams’ Matthew Stafford is up to old tricks

LA Times  

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who completed four touchdown passes, throws against the Vikings in the fourth quarter. There were two Matthew Stafford moments suitable for framing in the Rams’ upset of the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. “It was a little choice route inside for Cooper, but to be honest with you, something in the huddle before the snap I’m like, ‘Hey, D-Rob, be live on this,’” Stafford said. Rams receiver Puka Nacua, who became Matthew Stafford’s top target against the Vikings, battles for yards against the Vikings defense after a reception in the first quarter. With the trade deadline coming next week, there were even some rumblings the Rams might ship Stafford to the Vikings, even though Minnesota has been quite happy with Sam Darnold There’s no indication the Stafford rumors are true, although coach Sean McVay did acknowledge that teams have reached out about Kupp.
