Cooper Kupp Says Matthew Stafford Congratulating Him 'Means A Lot' After Post-Game Video

Cooper Kupp is no longer catching passes from Matthew Stafford, but the two clearly still share a special bond.

After Stafford found Kupp following Sunday's NFC Championship Game and told him to "go win your damn Super Bowl," the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver told reporters Monday it "means a lot" for the Los Angeles Rams quarterback to congratulate him in such a way.

"It was a cool moment," he added.

Kupp's Seahawks prevailed in a 31-27 victory over Stafford's Rams in part because of the veteran's touchdown catch from Sam Darnold. He also hauled in a key first-down reception as Seattle was putting the game away in the fourth quarter.

While Kupp is a secondary playmaker for the Seahawks and scored just two touchdowns this season, it wasn't that long ago he was arguably the NFL's best wide receiver when he was with Stafford in Los Angeles.

The Eastern Washington product was the Offensive Player of the Year and the Super Bowl MVP during a 2021 season that saw him lead the league in catches (145), receiving yards (1,947) and touchdown receptions (16).

It was one of the best individual seasons from a wide receiver in NFL history, and Stafford and Kupp each cemented their place in Rams history by capturing that Lombardi Trophy.

They will always be linked following their time in Los Angeles, and Stafford will surely be rooting for his friend to add another Super Bowl ring to his collection.

Even if they are division rivals now.
