For much of the fourth quarter, it was clear that the Seahawks were going to win Sunday's Super Bowl 60. The Patriots couldn't do anything offensively, and the Seattle sidelines could sense that championship.
Cooper Kupp wanted no part of the good vibes until the game was officially over.
Mic'd-up footage from NFL Films showed how teammates were trying to talk to the Seahawks receiver about the win and Super Bowl rings, and Kupp could be heard shutting down those conversations. He kept repeating, "Three zeros."
He had the same message when Jaxon Smith-Njigba tried to celebrate with him near the bench before the game was officially over. Kupp did not want to put a single thing to chance.
Hey, Kupp might've had a point, though. We can remember back to Super Bowl 51 when Falcons players were in a celebratory mood on the sidelines before the epic collapse against New England. Lady Gaga was the halftime performer for that game, and she made an appearance during Bad Bunny's halftime show on Sunday.
For the superstitious like Kupp, the caution made sense.
Once the game ended, Kupp was more than happy to share a celebratory exchange with Smith-Njigba. He just had to wait for those three zeroes.
