The common thread between Cupp’s near record season and Calvin Johnson’s is the QB: Matt Stafford.
It would have been nice for Cupp to have gotten the record but these records won’t last. As they keep adding games to the schedule the records will all fall. Even Cupp had an additional game to reach the record.
Also Johnson was playing on a non playoff team so they could feed him the ball the last few games. The Rams had something to play for. Still you wonder if it had been someone like Beckham, for instance, chasing the record how well 7 targets would have been perceived.
