In the game, Kupp logged four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown. He expressed himself on social media postgame, posting “IT WAS WRITTEN” on X and sharing a reel featuring a photo with the Seahawks’ “M.O.B. Ties” motif and the message “It was a good day!”
Seattle defeated Los Angeles for the third time this season, and the second time in Seattle, setting the stage for a Seahawks return to the Super Bowl. It marked Seattle’s third Super Bowl appearance in franchise history and the first since the 2015 season.
Kupp’s career arc is noted in the context of the moment. A 2017 third-round pick (69th overall), he won the NFL triple crown in 2021, leading in receptions, yards, and touchdowns, and earned Offensive Player of the Year honors while helping the Rams win a Super Bowl that season. The text notes that the Rams cut Kupp in the ensuing offseason after reportedly failing to trade him and replaced him with Davante Adams.
Postgame interactions underscored the bridge between former teammates. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford searched for Kupp on the field to offer a word of goodwill, while Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua praised Kupp as a mentor and friend, expressing pride and excitement to watching him continue his career in another Super Bowl.
The moment carried bittersweet overtones for the Rams, who would have preferred to see Kupp remain with their club. Still, Kupp’s postgame messages and the Seahawks’ victory highlighted the crossovers within the NFC West and set the stage for what promises to be a compelling Super Bowl run.
