"The result was poetic for Cooper Kupp. He helped eliminate the Rams, the team that showed him the door last spring. But for the Seattle Seahawks receiver, who made some key plays in Sunday evening's 31-27 victory, he preferred to be poetry in motion. Kupp didn't stick around for interviews. He discretely slipped out of the locker room. Gloating isn't his style."
"After celebrating with his teammates and family on the confetti-covered field, Kupp hugged his young kids and handed them off to his wife and dad, then disappeared into a raucous Seahawks locker room already thick with cigar smoke. By the time the doors were opened to the media, he had packed up and left, letting his key plays do the talking."
Cooper Kupp helped eliminate the Los Angeles Rams, the team that released him last spring, with key plays in Seattle's 31-27 victory. He scored a 13-yard touchdown in the third quarter and caught a seven-yard reception for a pivotal fourth-quarter first down. Kupp celebrated briefly with teammates and family on the confetti-covered field, hugged his children, then quietly left the locker room before talking to the media. His father expressed pride and gratitude. The Seahawks advanced to their fourth Super Bowl and entered the game favored by 4½ points over New England. Several players, including former Rams, felt personal significance.
