From Rams' Super Bowl MVP to Seahawks' unsung hero: How Cooper Kupp embraced his new role in Seattle

On Jan 25, 2026, Cooper Kupp converted an outstretched third-and-7 with more than three minutes left, and his third-down touchdown on a third-and-3 clinched the NFC Championship for Seattle Seahawks.
After the Rams cut him this offseason, Seattle signed Cooper Kupp on a three-year, $45 million deal, and his difficult departure preceded Seattle's fourth Super Bowl appearance.
On third down, Kupp's efficiency stood out as 11 of his 14 catches went for first downs, with three of four catches on third down.
Kupp's impact could help the Seahawks as he joins the small group of multi-time Super Bowl MVPs and the first to do so with multiple teams, with a 46% rushing success rate when on the field.
Smith-Njigba praised Kupp, saying `We wouldn't be the team we are without Coop, just what he brings on and off the field`, while Kupp said Monday, `When it comes time to play the game, it's just us`.
