While many people around the world ask for divine intervention, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is one person who believes he was actually on the receiving end.

Leading into Super Bowl LIII, media members and players alike congregated in Atlanta to discuss the upcoming game between the Patriots and Rams, as well as various topics. Cooper was one such player that made the trek to Atlanta. During his week, he met with various outlets to recap what had been a truly wild 2018 regular season. After all, he started the year slogging through a losing record with the Oakland Raiders, only to be traded midway through the year and ultimately reach the playoffs. He literally went from worst to first in less than a calendar year. Not many players can claim that achievement.

“It’s very special in that way,” Cooper said. “Not many people have switched teams in the middle of the season and reached 1,000 yards or been able to make it to the Pro Bowl. It’s really special.”

What's truly fascinating about his 2018 season is that Cooper was off to a rough start while only averaging 3.7 receptions and 46.7 yards in six games. He was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a first-round choice in the 2019 NFL Draft after only six games, setting up a dynamic finish to the season. Once he joined the Cowboys offense, Cooper's production jumped to an average of 5.9 receptions and 80.6 receiving yards in his nine games. His chemistry with quarterback Dak Prescott was immediately evident and surprising to outside observers. To Cooper, however, this relationship was meant to be.

“When I got to the Cowboys, it just worked out perfectly,” Cooper told NESN. “It seemed like it was God-ordained or something like that. Actually, I know it was God-ordained. Me and Dak were just on the same page as soon as I got there. Chemistry-wise, we kind of knew what each other liked already.”

The chemistry was evident in multiple big games as Prescott looked for his play-making wide receiver in the most critical moments. Cooper caught eight passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-23 victory over the Washington Redskins on Thanksgiving day, showing off the ease in which he created big plays. Against the Eagles, Cooper became the only player in NFL history to bring in three go-ahead touchdowns receptions in the fourth quarter or later. He brought in 10 passes for 217 yards and three touchdowns in a 29-23 victory, catching the game-winning pass in overtime.

Despite the slow start to the season, Cooper finished with 75 passes for 1,005 yards and seven touchdowns. He was also named to the Pro Bowl for the third time in his four-year career. His production in this Cowboys offense was impressive considering that Cooper had never worked with Prescott or any of his new teammates before joining the team. In fact, some would even call it divine.
