The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for a crucial Divisional Round playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, boasting a strong recent performance in the postseason. Despite a dominant Wild Card Round victory, the Rams face a pressing concern with the notable absence of star wide receiver Cooper Kupp. Kupp's performance has dipped significantly, having only one reception in the previous game against the Minnesota Vikings, raising questions about his impact moving forward.

Analyst Ian Valentino asserts that for the Rams to stand a chance against the high-powered Eagles, Kupp must re-establish himself as a key playmaker. With only five receptions over the last four games, the Rams are relying heavily on Kupp to complement Matthew Stafford and the offense. The urgency for Kupp to return to form is evident as the Rams look to keep pace with the Eagles' explosive scoring capability.
