Video: Josh Allen Praises Amari Cooper After Bills Debut vs. Titans Following Trade

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 A.J. Ross of CBS Sports about Cooper and how the wide receiver was able to learn on the fly and make an impact in the game.

"He worked his tail off this week," Allen said. "It's not easy to come to a new team, learn the system and be able to play in an actual game. Hat's off to him for his professionalism, the way that he learned and to the coaching staff for getting him ready to go."

Allen later spoke more about the developing rapport between himself and Cooper and credited the receiver's experience as something that makes the transition easier.

"I think being seven years in the league now, just like understanding guys of [Cooper's] caliber, they don't need a lot. They go out there, give him a clear mind, let him go play," Allen said, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. "That's what he did out there a couple times, just finding zones, finding windows. He made a really good catch on that slant. But, again, just the professionalism that he has, the ability that he has, just trusting what I see with him, and things will turn out pretty good."

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

He had 72 catches for 1,250 yards and five touchdowns in 2023 and has been named to five Pro Bowls in his career. He should assume the Bills No. 1 receiver role and give Allen a steady option to lean on.

The Bills improved to 5-2 with the win and appear poised to claim the AFC East for the fifth consecutive season. As the franchise looks to contend with the top teams in the AFC, it will hope that the Allen-Cooper connection can be explosive and difficult to defend against.
