Realistically, the middle zone defender probably didn't need to stick at the 10 yard mark, but did to help the other two linebackers, allowing Kupp to get ~30 yards before the safeties up top got to him.
They ran that play at least twice on the same drive. They may have ran it a few more times on top of that.
They were showing the game live on the BBC here in the U.K...so my 14 year old daughter ended up watching her first ever NFL game with me.
Even she was saying 'why are they letting no.18 just catch it right in the middle every time?'
