2. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix will make the game tough for Amari Cooper

A few seasons again while with the Oakland Raiders, Amari Cooper had six receptions for 120 yards and two touchdowns in a game against the Green Bay Packers when Ha Ha Clinton-Dix players for the Packers.

This time, Clinton-Dix plays for the Washington Redskins ,and Cooper is with the Cowboys. This meeting means a lot more this time around as both were traded for before the NFL trade deadline for moments like this, and that moment will take place on Thanksgiving.

Clinton-Dix is a very good defensive back in the NFL, and seeing him possibly facing Cooper on Thursday is just as exciting as the first bite of turkey and gravy during the Thanksgiving meal.

Since joining the Cowboys, Cooper has played in three games, making 14 receptions for 169 yards and one touchdown. He is averaging 12.1 yards per reception and is averaging 56.3 yards per game receiving. Cooper’s longest reception with the Cowboys is 24 yards, and that is his only reception at or over 20 yards while wearing the star on his helmet.

Clinton-Dix in his three games with the Redskins has 28 tackles, one pass defensed and has forced a fumble. This season, his three interceptions have come with the Packers, but if the strong safety battles with Cooper on Thursday, look for the winner to be Clinton-Dix.
