‘“Making key adjustments, knowing our players, as well, and what they do best,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “Usually when you’re giving them what they do best, they’re able to execute and show who they really are.”’

Amari Cooper’s first reception for Buffalo Bills goes for a touchdown
‘On Tuesday, the Bills obtained the former Alabama All-American and a sixth-round choice in the 2025 NFL Draft from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and a seventh-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.’
Amari Cooper hauls in touchdown for Buffalo Bills in first catch after trade
‘Cooper made the catch early in the third quarter to put the Bills ahead 14-10 for their first lead of the day. He finished with four catches for 66 yards in the Bills’ eventual 34-10 win.’
Cooper scores in his Bills debut and Allen shakes off a sluggish start in 34-10 rout of Titans
‘“Any time you have a player of his caliber, he demands extra attention. If you don’t, we’re probably going to throw him the ball,” Allen said of Cooper. “But our guys did a good job of getting open, making plays.”’
Amari Cooper stars in debut as Buffalo Bills roll at home
‘”Coooooop” echoed around the stadium in response.’
Amari Cooper's first catch turns into first TD as Buffalo Bill
‘Buffalo got the ball at the Titans’ 44-yard line after a failed fourth-down conversion attempt from Tennessee. The Bills’ offense then went 41 yards on six plays, including an impressive catch near the sideline by tight end Dalton Kincaid, ending with a 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Josh Allen to Cooper in his first game with the team after being traded from the Browns on Tuesday.’
Look: Amari Cooper scores TD on first catch with Bills, days after arriving via trade
‘On the same day his old quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with an injury for the Cleveland Browns, Amari Cooper found himself on the receiving end of a touchdown from his new signal-caller in Buffalo. Days after arriving via trade, the Bills pass catcher helped put his team ahead with his first catch in new threads, securing a 12-yard pass from Josh Allen to give Buffalo a third-quarter lead.’
Keon Coleman Had to Tell Amari Cooper Where to Go on His First TD in Bills Debut
‘There wasn’t anything spectacular about Cooper’s first score in a Buffalo jersey, but something interesting did happen right before the ball was snapped.’
Bills demolish Titans in return to Orchard Park
‘The Buffalo defense had no answer to stop the Tennessee offense, as they were able to get within the Bills’ 10-yard line. The Bills were able to make a stop, and force a 25-yard field goal from kicker Nick Folk to claim a 3-0 lead.’
Amari Cooper catches first touchdown on first reception with Bills in win over Titans
‘Just five days after being acquired from the Cleveland Browns, Cooper was able to make an impact in the Bills offense, reeling in four passes from quarterback Josh Allen for 66 yards and a third quarter touchdown to give Buffalo a lead with would not be relinquished.’
Despite strong second-half performance in win over Titans, McDermott knows there's 'a lot to clean up'
‘The Bills struggled mightily in the first half, especially on the offensive side of the football. Through the first 30 minutes of action, Bills quarterback Josh Allen only completed 4-of-11 pass attempts for 65 yards, as Buffalo trailed 10-7 at the half.’
Allen: Sunday's win over Titans 'speaks a lot to the guys in the locker room'
‘After failing to have an answer in the early goings against the Titans offense, led by quarterback Mason Rudolph, the Bills defense stood strong and shut down Tennessee for the rest of the game. Buffalo’s defensive effort was capped off with an interception by safety Damar Hamlin late in the fourth quarter to squash any last hopes the Titans had.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Titans at Bills
‘The offensive game plan Joe Brady put together just didn’t make sense. Too many run plays out of shotgun that took too long to develop. Too many down-the-field passing routes that also took too long. Simpler, short passes along with a physical, downhill running game could have really helped move the sticks early-on.’
Opinion: A tale of two Bills teams
‘Then the home team came out and laid an egg in the first half.’
