WATCH: Former Alabama WR Amari Cooper torches Redskins defense with 90-yard TD reception
Amari Cooper appears to have found a home in Dallas.
The Cowboys traded with the Oakland Raiders for Cooper earlier this season, and it’s already paying off … in doubles.
Cooper has already recorded two TD receptions in this game alone, with the latest being a 90-yard score where he outruns the Redskins’ defense (below). His first TD came on a 40-yard TD reception.
AMARI COOPER GOES BACK FOR SECONDS…

Through the start of the fourth quarter, Cooper has recorded seven catches for 176 yards and two TDs.
Amari Cooper's 90-yard TD reception is the longest catch of his career, also the longest pass of Dak Prescott's career.
According to @NextGenStats, Cooper reached a max speed of 20.82 MPH on that catch, the fastest by any Cowboys ball carrier on a reception since 2016. pic.twitter.com/GzMM7RiaCc
