Amari Cooper turned in a career-best performance on Sunday during the Cleveland Browns win over the Houston Texans.

Cooper recorded 265 yards on 11 receptions with two touchdowns, setting a franchise record for receiving yards in a single game. The record was previously held by former Browns receiver Josh Gordon who posted 261 yards.

Cooper not only crossed a Browns landmark but also added a league-wide achievement as he became just the second player to post a 200-yard performance with three different teams joining hall-of-fame receiver Terrell Owens.

After so much turmoil at the quarterback position this season, the Browns have finally found stability with quarterback Joe Flacco who is now 3-1 as a starter as he led the team to its tenth win of the year.

Throughout Flacco’s run at quarterback, Cooper has posted some of his best performances of the year as he’s caught 25 passes for 485 yards and three touchdowns while working with the veteran.
