The Seattle Seahawks are facing off against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11, in what’s shaping up to be the game of the year. Whichever team wins will have a big advantage in the NFC West.
Both teams are playing at league-leading levels, with their offenses and defenses thriving. But the Week 11 matchup is also a chance for Cooper Kupp, now on the Seahawks, to face his former team for the first time.
Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team shared Kupp’s reaction when he was told the Rams would honor him with a tribute video before the game. His reaction was hilarious.
“Yeah, I don’t know. I didn’t know that.” Kupp said. “I didn’t die, you know. I’m here. So like, um, yeah, man, I appreciate it.”
Kupp played the majority of his NFL career with the Rams, playing his first eight seasons with Los Angeles. He won the Super Bowl, went to one Pro Bowl, was a First-Team All-Pro, and also won the Offensive Player of the Year award in 2021.
He hauled in 634 receptions on 891 targets for 7,776 yards and 57 touchdowns during his Rams career. Kupp was one of the best Rams players during their late 2010s and early 2020s.
But he signed on with the Seahawks after the 2024 season, and now will face his former team for the first time. This matchup takes place in Los Angeles, and the Rams are planning to honor Kupp with a tribute video.

The Super Bowl MVP was a huge part of the Rams’ success in the 2021 playoffs, and he’s more than deserving of a tribute video. But his reaction is hilarious. He joked that since he’s alive, he doesn’t get why the Rams are honoring him.
But his time with the Rams is up, at least barring a reunion. Los Angeles honoring a franchise legend, who helped them win a Super Bowl, is hardly surprising.
Kupp was a huge reason why the Rams won the Super Bowl, and now on the Seahawks, he’s going to get a taste of the franchise’s respect for his legacy with their planned tribute video before their Week 11 matchup.
