Mics Caught Rams’ Sean McVay Giving Cooper Kupp a Very Sweet Pep Talk After ‘Brain Fart’

In this story:
Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been back to his dominant self in the past two weeks after missing the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury that he suffered in training camp. He has back-to-back 100-plus yard games, including a seven-catch, 148-yard performance in last Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.
NFL Films caught a cool moment that Kupp shared with Sean McVay during the win over Arizona, in which the Rams’ coach delivered a very supportive message to his wide receiver after he made a mistake earlier in the game.
This was a pretty sweet moment between the two on the Los Angeles sideline:
"Give yourself some grace."

I feel like this isn’t “normal” for most coaches. What makes McVay so great, imo. https://t.co/S48HJGZL8Q
