Cooper Kupp and Larry Fitzgerald will forever be remembered for their historic performances in the playoffs. In the playoffs this year, Kupp caught 33 passes for 478 yards and six touchdowns, setting the record for the most receptions in a single postseason.
Back in 2008 when the Arizona Cardinals made a run to the Super Bowl, Fitzgerald owned the postseason. He caught 30 passes for 546 yards and seven touchdowns in four games, which are the most yards and touchdown receptions by any player in one playoff run.
Both will go down as two of the best postseason stretches ever, but Fitzgerald says Kupp’s was better because “he’s got hardware.”

Fitzgerald was at the Rams’ morning-after press conference Monday, representing Arizona, which will host next year’s Super Bowl at State Farm Stadium.
He bumped into Kupp, who was the Super Bowl MVP, and congratulated him on an “unbelievable game and season.” Fitzgerald has always been a class act and is a legend of the game, so seeing him pay respect to Kupp was awesome.
Ran into this legend. Congratulations on an unbelievable game and season
