The Dallas Cowboys are heavy favorites heading into their Week 3 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, as the Cowboys have looked really good over the first two games and the Dolphins have, well, not.
Miami has been outscored 102-10 by its opponents over the first couple of weeks of the 2019 campaign and is coming off of an embarrassing 43-0 loss at the hands of the New England Patriots.
But Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper refuses to overlook the Dolphins before their Sunday showdown:
“I know when I was on a team we probably got beat like that, I didn’t feel that we sucked. I just felt like we had a bad game,” said Cooper, according to David Moore of The Dallas Morning News. “That’s how I feel about the Dolphins. I don’t feel that they suck.”
Given that Cooper spent the first three-and-a-half years of his career with the Oakland Raiders before being traded to Dallas midway through last season, he surely knows what it's like to be a part of a bad team.
But Cooper's Raiders were never this bad.
Fans and media members are already debating whether or not Miami will go 0-16 this year, and while that wouldn't be the first time that happened (the Detroit Lions did it in 2008), the Dolphins may end up being the worst team in NFL history.
Miami has traded away some of its best players over the past several weeks, sending offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Kenny Stills to the Houston Texans late last month and dealing safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this week.
The Dolphins are terrible on both sides of the ball, and it doesn't appear that will change any time soon.
