Watson did find his chemistry with Cooper, whom he found for a 24 yard TD pass on the first play of the game after the Browns forced a fumble on the opening kickoff and recovered it at the Giants 24.

Amari Cooper was much more involved in the Browns' passing offense, which was the moments where the offense ran its best in a loss to the Giants.

The Giants' big offseason acquisition sacked and stripped Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson with 32 seconds to play in the first half. The play gave Giants good field position, which they took advantage, scoring with 11 seconds left to take a 21-7 lead at the break.
