The Superbowl was the most talk in the nation, not only with Snoop Dog’s performance but overall, the game was enormous!
The Los Angeles Rams have recently held a margin and claimed victory in Super Bowl LVI and captured the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
The ‘go-to-guy’ a.k.a Cooper Kupp made his presence immediately in the back-and-forth affair and made 20 yards on a key third-down conversion on the team’s second possession.
It was a complete setup for Matthew Stafford’s touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr. a few plays later that gave the Rams a 7-0 lead.
Kupp also earned eight passes, two for touchdowns, totaling 92 yards, and also ran for seven yards, according to Sports Spectrum.
But Kupp had a leap of faith and he explains it here:
“There was just this vision that God revealed to me…”

He said, “It just comes down to this team, how we’ve prepared, the way we’ve loved on each other, trusted each other, I don’t know, I don’t feel deserving of this. God is just so good. I’m just so thankful for the guys I get to be around, for the coaches, for my family.”
“In 2019 we walked off the field that last time after losing to the Patriots; I wasn’t able to be a part of that thing, but I don’t know what it was, there was just this vision God revealed to me that we were going to come back, we were going to be part of a Super Bowl, we were going to win it. And somehow I was going to walk off the field as the MVP of the game and I shared that with my wife because I couldn’t tell anyone else obviously what that was, but from the moment this postseason started, there was just a belief, every game, that it was written already,” he added.
“It was written already and I just got to play free, knowing that I got to play from victory, not for victory. I got to play in a place where I was validated not from anything that happened on the field but because of my worth in God and my Father and it was just walking off the field. It was as clear as day and I walked off the field, I turned around before walking back through the tunnel and it just hit me. It was as clear as I can see you guys here right now. Pretty incredible.”
Kupp also shared his favorite Bible passages is 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, which reads: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.”
Do it to get a crown that will last forever.

The Sporting News explained, “It’s the best feeling in the world, God is great. I’m at a loss for words. I don’t know what to say. This is a blessing.”
“I think the thing that He has taught me is that you will find that you are most fulfilled, you will find the most joy when you are rooted in your purpose, and specifically rooted in His purpose for you, and that, to me, has been one of the best things about this year,” Donald added.
Kupp said he does not play for trophies and awards.
“My motivation coming in every single day is to run the race in such a way as to honor God and the passions and the talents that He’s given me,” he said. “When I’m rooted in that, I am in a great place. I can play freely.”
