Raiders’ Amari Cooper gets plenty of chances to catch passes

NASHVILLE — The first play went to Amari Cooper. He caught Derek Carr’s pass for 7 yards. The second play was also a throw to Cooper, but it fell incomplete.

The Raiders made clear they wanted to get their rookie receiver involved early and often, a week after he had only one catch at Detroit.

Check.

Cooper finished with seven receptions on 12 targets for a game-high 115 yards.

“It allows the playmakers to make some plays,” he said. “We all had our opportunities.”

Seth Roberts and Michael Crabtree made touchdown grabs, but Cooper broke a team record Sunday.
