He scored the first two-point conversion in NFL history, running in a faked extra point attempt for the Browns in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals in the first week of the 1994 season. He subsequently earned the nickname "Two Point Tupa."

He joined the New England Patriots in 1996, and played for them for three years. In 1999, He signed with the New York Jets, and it was during this season that he received his first invitation to the Pro Bowl. In 2002, He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he was their punter on their road to Super Bowl XXXVII, where they defeated the Oakland Raiders.

He joined the Indianapolis Colts in 1992, playing as a backup quarterback to Jack Trudeau and Jeff George. That season also marked the last time Tupa was used regularly as a quarterback; since then he has almost exclusively punted, with only emergency occasions or trick plays making use of his throwing skills.

He was drafted in the third round (68th overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft by the Phoenix (now Arizona) Cardinals. During his rookie year, he was used exclusively as a quarterback, playing in two games and completing 4-of-5 passes for 49 yards. His second season with the team saw an expanded role. He started two games at QB, while registering six punts for 46.7 yards per punt. After spending the entire 1990 season as strictly a holder on kicks, he was the primary quarterback for the Cardinals the following year, playing in 11 games and throwing six touchdowns.

After his playing career, plans to pursue an NFL coaching career.
