Amari Cooper shows value to Browns with 2 TDs vs Commanders
Associated Press— Just because Amari Cooper is no longer in the NFC East does not mean he’s done tormenting the Washington Commanders. Cooper had two touchdowns among his three catches and 105 yards receiving in the Cleveland Browns’ 24-10 victory Sunday in a spoiler role against a team fighting to make the playoffs. Deshaun Watson completed TD passes of 46 and 33 yards to Cooper, who showed his value to the Browns and perhaps a glimpse of what’s to come after not making the playoffs this season. “Today was a good day, especially the start of 2023 and what the future is going to hold for the Cleveland Browns,” said Watson, who also threw a TD pass to Donovan Peoples-Jones and finished 9 of 18 for 169 yards passing. “It was good to be able to see that happen.” Cooper’s three catches gave him 45 in seven career games against Washington.
