China okays mega dam in Tibet's high seismic zoneActive is the best word to describe Amari Cooper’s involvement in the Buffalo Bills’ offense Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. Cooper led the Bills with 14 targets, more than doubling his previous high of five targets in his five games with the team since coming over in a trade with the Cleveland Browns in October. Cooper finished with six catches against the Rams for 95 yards, both of which are his best in a game for the Bills. His six catches were the most by a Bills receiver, and his 95 yards trailed only Khalil Shakir's 106 yards on five catches for most on the team against Los Angeles. Bills receiver Amari Cooper makes a terrific catch for a gain of 25 yards during Sunday's loss against the Rams. Cooper was targeted a 15th time in the game on a play that ended up getting wiped out because he drew a defensive pass interference penalty on Rams cornerback Darious Williams in the end zone, which moved the ball to the Rams' 1-yard line on the Bills’ final offensive possession, setting up quarterback Josh Allen’s sixth total touchdown of the game. Whether it was Williams or fellow outside cornerback Cobie Durant lined up on Cooper, Allen showed no hesitation in looking the way of the veteran receiver, who was playing in his third game after returning from missing two games because of a wrist injury. Even though the team did not get the result it hoped for in a 44-42 loss, there is a lot to take away from Cooper’s individual performance. No. 1, he’s getting healthier. He played 32 offensive snaps, which was 53.3% of the team total. By percentage, that’s Cooper’s most active game as a member of the Bills. No. 2, the Bills liked the matchup on the outside, with Cooper going up against either Williams or Durant. Of Cooper’s six catches, a couple came on quick outs when the Rams gave him a decent cushion and Allen took what was available. Cooper’s first catch came when he ran a stop route in front of Williams to get wide open for an 18-yard gain in the second quarter. The receiver’s best catch came midway through the third quarter when Williams actually had decent coverage. Cooper, however, saw the ball all the way and secured it for a gain of 26 yards, despite a slight bobble. On the Bills’ final drive, Cooper worked a deep crossing route to get open for a 25-yard gain. A story also can be found in the connections that weren’t made between Allen and Cooper. On the first two misses, Allen was on the move and seemed to at least give his receiver a chance, but Cooper couldn’t make the catch. There also appeared to be at least two incompletions that could be attributed to miscommunication. In the second quarter, Allen threw deep down the left sideline on third and 10, but Cooper had cut off his route a few yards beyond the first-down marker. On the next play, the Rams blocked Sam Martin’s punt and returned it for a touchdown. There was another throw late in the third quarter when Allen was looking for another quick out, but Cooper never turned his head to look for the ball. One other pass intended for Cooper was broken up by Durant with a well-timed hit, and one other targeted ball was thrown out of bounds when Allen was pressured. “He’s the type of quarterback that will fight to the very end,” Cooper said after the game of Allen, who was magnificent in defeat. “Obviously, we still had winning chances there. In Josh we trust. Never out of it until the clock hits zero.” Cooper knew that about Allen before he even came to the Bills. Now, he’s tasked with helping Allen find a way to pull out close games, which figures to be the norm as the playoffs approach. The Bills have sunk to 25th in the NFL on third-down defense, allowing opponents to convert 43.2% of their opportunities into first downs. Buffalo allowed the Rams to convert 11 of 15 third-down chances in Sunday’s 44-42 loss. That is why Sunday can be viewed as a positive for the offense beyond just Allen being Superman. It is clear that if he is looking Cooper’s way 14 times, the receiver has earned the trust of the quarterback. That’s a must in any offense. There is reason to believe that the relationship between Cooper and Allen will only get stronger over the remaining four games of the regular season. The offense also should soon welcome back tight end Dalton Kincaid and rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman, giving Allen his full arsenal of weapons – something he hasn’t had since Cooper hurt his wrist against Seattle in Week 8 and missed the following two weeks, against Miami and Indianapolis. That is something to look forward to, even if it might be painful right now to look back at Sunday’s loss. Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!
