LANDOVER, Md. — The word "frustrated" – including its other forms of "frustration" and "frustrating" – came out of Amari Cooper's mouth at least five times following the Cleveland Browns ' 34-13 loss Sunday to the Washington Commanders. “It’s always frustrating to lose," Cooper said.
"To lose in the fashion we did is even more frustrating. So hey, just got to go back to the drawing board, continue to improve, turn this thing around." For the fifth time this season, the Browns' offense failed to reach at least 20 points.
The unit went nearly 53 minutes without scoring a touchdown. Cooper had the longest catch of the day, a 19-yard connection on the first play of the second quarter. Cooper finished with four catches for 60 receiving yards and was targeted 10 times.
From the start of the game, the receiver and quarterback Deshaun Watson didn't appear on the same page. Watson looked to him on a deep post route on the third play of the game, but the pass landed harmlessly for an incompletion. The two tried another deep shot from the Browns' own end zone, but after Watson's toss sailed over Cooper's head with zero chance of completion, the wideout walked off looking dejected.
Later in the first half, Cooper couldn’t catch up to Watson’s throw that led him to the sideline on an intermediate out route. "If I had all the answers, it wouldn’t be happening," said Cooper. "So I really can’t adequately answer that.
