Brandin Cooks got an opportunity to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, the team that selected him in the draft.
Ask any player, and facing a former team is source of extra motivation. The Saints traded Cooks to the New England Patriots in 2017 and the Patriots traded him to the Los Angeles Rams in March. Even though Cooks is two teams removed from the Saints, he probably wanted to show the Saints what they traded away.
The former Oregon State Beaver caught six passes for 114 yards and a touchdown in the Rams 45-35 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
