ALAMEDA – The NFL does not play the 2018 season specifically to humiliate the Raiders.
Sometimes it just seems like that.
Amari Cooper, in her first game with the Dallas Cowboys, wasted no time in making her presence felt Monday night in front of a national television audience with a 4-yard touchdown reception by Dak Prescott for first touchdown of the game against the Tennessee Titans.
But, just like his time with the Raiders, Cooper finally broke away in a 28-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
The Raiders turned Cooper over to the Cowboys for a first-round pick before the trade deadline.
Cooper finished the night with five catches for 58 yards and was targeted eight times. Prescott threw his last target on Cooper outside the end zone with less than two minutes to play. Five of the Cowboys' eight passes to Cooper came in the first half. His longest win was 19 yards in the fourth quarter as the game was out of reach.
Later in the first quarter, when Prescott attempted to pass a double pass to Cooper in the end zone, Kevin Byard of Tennessee recorded the interception, then celebrated the Dallas star in the middle of the field by channeling his interior, Terrell Owens.
This is the third time in the regular season that a player sent by the Raiders has an impact on his new team, although Cooper's quick touch did not pay off with a win in his first game. Khalil Mack, sent to Chicago in a package with two first-round picks, has collected five sacks, four forced fumbles, one interception and scored a touchdown before being lost for the last two games due to a rush. an injury to the ankle.
Kicker Giorgio Tavecchio, cut by the Raiders at the training camp, in favor of injured winger Eddy Pineiro, scored four attempts for the quarter after being signed by the Atlanta Falcons, including 50 and 56 yard punts. 20 win over the New York Giants.
