Cleveland Browns wideout Amari Cooper continued to prove why he’s one of the most underrated receivers in the NFL Monday night.
During Cleveland’s surprise stomping of the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, Cooper hauled in a stunning bomb from quarterback Jacoby Brissett that helped set up a touchdown.
The way Cooper extended his arms to secure the catch and managed to hold onto the ball as he was falling really highlighted what a special night it was for the Browns.
While nobody expected them to manhandle the Bengals, Cooper’s beautiful catch helped show exactly how they did just that.

Well, that’s going in the Cleveland highlight reel for the 2022 season.
Cooper’s big night helped make up for a bizarre pick he threw earlier in the game when he was used as a quarterback on a trick play.
Amari Cooper… THREW A PICK? 😬

While the Browns aren’t likely to contend for a playoff spot this season barring a surprise run, plays like this should give Browns fans confidence that they’ve got plenty of impressive pieces for the long run.
At the very least, Cooper continues to make the Dallas Cowboys look silly for letting him go for a fifth-round pick.
