“Woolen’s pretty fast, so he was catching up to the ball. Because, you know, the ball takes a little distance for it to get to me. So he was catching up. So I was like, ‘alright, let me just stick my arm out,’ and he was starting to hold on to my arm, so I only had one arm to try to make a play,” former Chiefs WR concluded.

Another star player in Sean McVay‘s lineup is wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who stated that the main objective of that play is to “be able to get the edge clean for Matthew,” and “give him a chance to make a play and do something sweet.”

“After I see it, I kind of just made myself available,” Kupp stated. “That ball is very rarely thrown to that route. D-Rob did a great job off the line of scrimmage, and when he set that angle high, I just couldn’t believe it when I saw Matthew flip his hips. I said, ‘Oh, he’s about to let this thing go.'”
