Derek Carr, Amari Cooper spark Raiders to victory over Chargers

ALAMEDA, Calif. – Derek Carr thought it was “funny” that Amari Cooper did not have a touchdown catch through the Oakland Raiders’ first four games.

No, not funny like a clown. Not to amuse you. It had nothing to do with Joe Pesci and Goodfellas. More like…funny weird. Because surely, Cooper should be lighting up defenses in his second NFL season after going to the Pro Bowl as a rookie, right?

The Raiders’ AC/DC Connection finally came to fruition Sunday, their 64-yard third-quarter hookup sparking Oakland to a come-from-behind 34-31 victory over the San Diego Chargers at the Oakland Coliseum.
