Week 16 brought the Cleveland Browns one of the best individual performances that the franchise has had.
Amari Cooper rattled off 11 catches for 265 yards and two scores. Following the monster performance, Cooper let the rest of the NFL know how he felt.
“Every time I step on the field I try to put forth my best effort,” Cooper told NFL Network after the game. “I do truly feel like I’m unguardable. It’s all about opportunities, and I had a lot of opportunities today.”
To be fair, Cooper sure did look like he couldn’t be guarded. He beat pretty much every cornerback that was matched up against him and was targeted 15 times.
“It felt good. It always feels good when you can come out and put on a big performance for the team.”
From the very start things were clicking for Cooper and QB Joe Flacco. On the first offensive play of the game, Flacco went deep to Cooper for a 53-yard gain. Cooper later caught a 75-yard touchdown pass.
After the big performance, Cooper has 1,250 yards receiving, which is the most he’s ever had in a season. The Pro Bowl-level wideout has gotten it done with four different quarterbacks this season.
With two regular season games left, Cooper can add to that number. With his postgame comments, it looks like it’s going to be a strong finish for No. 2.

This embarrassing trend is no longer a thing for Cleveland.
