Taylor Rapp is just a rookie, but he’s had a big impact on the Rams this season. Since taking over as a start when John Johnson went down with a season-ending shoulder injury, Rapp has played well and gotten better each week.
On Sunday, he finally pulled down his first career interception, and he made sure this one counted. After having an interception called back due to an overturned pass interference penalty on Nickell Robey-Coleman earlier in the game and dropping a would-be pick-six, Rapp intercepted Kyler Murray and returned it 31 yards for a touchdown.
It was his first takeaway and touchdown, and it was a beauty. He read Murray like a book and did a great job to get in the throwing lane, picking it off by high-pointing the pass.
