Watch: Amari Cooper scores two touchdowns in a row for Cowboys
Amari Cooper needed just four games to prove his value to the Dallas Cowboys.
Cooper scored two touchdowns in a row for Dallas in the third quarter of their game on Thanksgiving against the Washington Redskins Thursday to break the game open.
The first came on a 3rd-and-2 at the Washington 40:

The second came a possession later and was very similar. It came on a 2nd-and-9 from the Dallas 10. Cooper broke it 90 yards for the score.

Dallas went from trailing 13-10 to leading 24-13.
The two scores doubles Cooper’s total for the season. His 176 yards after the 90-yard score represented a season-high mark as well.
