The Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams faced off in a highly anticipated Week 5 battle.
This was an opportunity for the Eagles to keep their foot on the gas, propelling themselves to a 5-0 record.
Among other things for the Rams, this game also was a chance for Cooper Kupp to return to play after being on Injured Reserve for the first four games of the season.
While the Rams ended up losing this one, after the game, Darius Slay had nothing but positive things to say.
Slay talked about Kupp’s abilities to fool defenders, as shared in his video via The Volume.
“Coop is good at lulling you to sleep,” Slay said.

Kupp has been widely viewed as one of the NFL’s best receivers over the past five years.
The connection between him and Matthew Stafford is growing, a reason they won the Super Bowl in 2021.
While Slay might have been able to shut him down in the second half of this game, that is due to his dominance as a defensive back.
Kupp typically has several 100-yard games per season, a sign that he can tear it up on the field.
This has resulted in positive things for the Rams when he is healthy, as he can take over at a moment’s notice.
The good news for the Rams is that Kupp is no longer their only top receiver.
Puka Nacua has made a name for himself this year, resulting in one of the league’s best one-two punches at the position.
