Following his team’s victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday, wide receiver Amari Cooper of the Cleveland Browns recorded 11 receptions for 265 yards and two scores. He later gave quarterback Joe Flacco credit for his incredible performance.
As reported by Kelsey Russo of the Browns’ official team website, Cooper stated, “To be completely honest, I would attribute most of it to Joe.” “He plays the game with such a great feel. His arm is amazing. It seems evident to me that a receiver and a quarterback have a symbiotic relationship. We work well together, is the best way to put it.
In the Browns’ Week 15 victory over the Chicago Bears, Cooper ended with four receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown, marking his second straight 100-yard performance.
Flacco, meanwhile, returned the favor to Cooper.
“Quality football players know how to get open, and you know how to throw the ball to them,” Flacco remarked. That’s all there is to it. Additionally, because he takes his time with some things, we have made a few mistakes. Therefore, there is still some getting used to the way he handles small details differently. In general, skilled receivers are able to find openings in the designated areas on schedule and in sync with the action. and that is beneficial to a quarterback.
Cooper finished the season with a career-high 1,250 receiving yards, 72 grabs, and five touchdowns after the huge day.
Cooper made Browns history by being the first player to record consecutive seasons with 1,000 receiving yards. The wide receiver, acquired via trade from the Dallas Cowboys, caught 78 catches for 1,160 yards and nine touchdowns in his debut season with Cleveland last year.
The Oakland Raiders originally chose the 29-year-old with the fourth overall choice of the 2015 NFL Draft. He played collegiate football at the University of Alabama.
