The Seahawks beat the Rams in the NFC championship game on Sunday, 31-27, to earn a spot in Super Bowl LX. Among the many interesting narratives that enhanced the clash between the two NFC West rivals was the Cooper Kupp storyline.
The former All-Pro wideout rose to stardom in Los Angeles with the Rams and helped them win a Super Bowl while making history catching passes from Matthew Stafford. But the team elected to move on from Kupp this past offseason; unable to find a trade partner, the Rams wound up releasing him. Kupp decided to return to his home state of Washington by signing with Seattle in free agency and the fierce rivalry between the two organizations gave the decision extra juice.
