Why do losing quarterbacks?

[Captain FT]

Always keep their helmet on after the game when they shake hands, and the winner always takes their helmet off?

Is there some unwritten rule I'm missing?

Flacco thought he was still playing and taking another sack

Same reason Ricky Williams left his helmut on during intervoews even at the height of his fame. To hide.
