Video: Josh Allen praises Amari Cooper after Bills debut against Titans after trade | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is already impressed with his new teammate.

The Bills acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper last week to give Allen a talented receiver to work with. The connection paid off in Week 7, as Cooper had four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans.

Following the game, Allen spoke with CBS Sports' AJ Ross about Cooper and how the wide receiver was able to learn on the fly and make an impact in the game.

“He worked hard this week,” Allen said. “It's not easy to come to a new team, learn the system and be able to play in a real game. Hats off to him for his professionalism, the way he learned and the coaching staff for preparing him to start.”

Allen later spoke more about the evolving relationship between himself and Cooper, citing the receiver's experience as something that makes the transition easier.

“I think having been in the league for seven years now, they don’t need much, just like understanding guys of (Cooper’s) caliber. They go out there, clear his head, let him go play,” Allen said, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. “That’s what he did out there a few times, just finding zones, finding windows. He made a really good catch with him at that angle and things are going to turn out pretty well.

Cooper had 25 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns before the trade. This came for a Browns team that was 1-5 and struggling to produce on offense.

In 2023, he recorded 72 catches for 1,250 yards and five touchdowns and was named to five Pro Bowls throughout his career. He should assume the role of the Bills' No. 1 receiver and give Allen a stable option to lean on.

The Bills improved to 5-2 with the win and appear poised to win the AFC East for the fifth straight season. As the franchise looks to compete with the AFC's top teams, it hopes the Allen-Cooper connection can be explosive and difficult to defend.
