But just Watkins’ presence may have had an impact early. On Kupp’s touchdown reception, Watkins was running a route underneath and looked like he drew more attention from the defense. That left Kupp wide open for the touchdown.A perfect illustration of how one productive player helps other players become more productive. Doesn't show up on the stat sheet, but it impacts the opposing D a ton, just the same.
Gurley will greatly benefit from the attention drawn by Watkins and Kupp, among others, as well. It's a synergy thing.
Our previous coaching regime could never quite grasp that concept.
