Amari Cooper’s touchdown caps off a perfect start to the Raiders’ season

It had a little bit of everything.

The start to the Oakland Raiders season could not have gotten off to a better start.

First, the Titans opened up the game with an onside kick that — well — wasn’t very good, and gave the Raiders the ball at midfield.

Then, on Marshawn Lynch’s first carry, he looked just like the same old BeastMode that we had seen two years ago in Seattle. Lynch is going to be running with purpose all season, playing for his hometown Raiders.

The drive was capped off by this Amari Cooper touchdown, where he somehow was able to stay up and find the end zone. That takes some damn good balance, and Cooper was able to fight off nearly the entire Titans defense to finish the play.

And of course, the pass came from the hands of Derek Carr, who is fresh off of signing a $125 million contract.

Clearly that Chick-fil-a isn’t holding him back.
