Watch Amari Cooper put Dallas Cowboys up 17-6 early in second half vs. Miami Dolphins
After a sluggish start, the Dallas Cowboys’ offense came out fast in the second half Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
The Cowboys scored quickly on Dak Prescott’s 19-yard pass to Amari Cooper to push the lead to 17-6 and cap the five-play, 75 yard drive to start the second half.
The score made up for touchdown that was called back. Prescott hit Randall Cobb for a 74-yard score on the first play of the second half but a holding call on Connor Williams erased it.
It was the second score of the game for Cooper. He had a five-yard touchdown catch in the first half.
“It’s all about the communication,” Cooper said of his relationship with Prescott. “If I see something out there, I’m going to go to Dak and talk about it. And he’s really good about hearing me out, hearing everything I have to say. He’s a really smart guy so he tries to listen and understand everything I’m saying.”
Cooper has at least five receptions and in 10 of the 14 games with the Cowboys since being traded from the Oakland Raiders in October, including two playoff games. Cooper has 10 touchdown catches in 12 regular-season games with the Cowboys, including four through three games this season. Both he and Prescott have improved, he said.
“I think it could be special,” he said. “We just have to continue to be on the same page. I think our games match each other well. Obviously, he’s becoming a better player, I’m becoming a better player and I think the sky’s the limit. Because if we both can stick around here for a long time we’ll be able to grow together.”
