Wide receiver Amari Cooper isn't basking in the glow of the biggest game of his NFL career in the Oakland Raiders' most recent outing any more than he wallowed in the gloom of the four games that preceded it.
In the NFL's Thursday night game last week, Cooper caught 11 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns as the Raiders defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-30.
After Cooper started the 2017 season with five receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown in a 26-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 10, he caught 13 passes for 84 yards and no touchdowns as the Raiders went 1-4 over the next five games.
