Overall, it’s hard to imagine a better debut for Amari Cooper as the lead receiver for the Buffalo Bills. In their 34-10 blowout victory over the Tennessee Titans, the former Cleveland Brown recorded four receptions for 66 yards, including a touchdown in the second half that helped seal the win.
Cooper was acquired by the Bills in a trade with the Browns that sent a third-round pick back to Cleveland. Although he has played in front of many loud crowds, there was something special about his debut with Buffalo, which is likely to resonate with fans of his new team.
“It just felt different,” Cooper said after the game. “I’ve been part of many passionate fan bases—Raiders, Cowboys, Browns, Alabama—but this one seems a little more intense.”
Buffalo’s fanbase is known for being among the most enthusiastic in the league. To win over these dedicated fans, Cooper will need to show his appreciation for their support. As long as he continues to perform like he did on Sunday, the Bills will be happy with his debut and his contributions moving forward.
