Cowboys Paid Lamb and Passed on Parsons, so the Drops Are Going to Hurt a Little More

CeeDee Lamb acknowledged responsibility for three critical dropped passes that hindered scoring opportunities and contributed to the Dallas Cowboys' 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

  • On September 4, the Dallas Cowboys lost 24-20 at Lincoln Financial Field to the Philadelphia Eagles, with Pro Bowl receiver CeeDee Lamb taking full accountability for the defeat.
  • After an hour-plus lightning delay, CeeDee Lamb dropped four passes, including three late, while Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter was ejected pregame for spitting on Dak Prescott.
  • CeeDee Lamb finished with seven catches for 110 yards on 13 targets, but his career-high four drops overshadowed the stat line, despite marking his 22nd 100-yard game tying Hall of Famer Bob Hayes.
  • Facing a thinner defense, the Cowboys must lean on offense this year, with Dak Prescott and coach Brian Schottenheimer backing Lamb, as Prescott said, `There wasn't a big, long talk we needed to have` and Schottenheimer added, `I don't worry about CeeDee Lamb`.
  • Week 2 presents a rebound chance for CeeDee Lamb at home against the New York Giants, and he pledged, `I will tell you that if you think I'm not coming back 80 times harder than this ˜ you've got another thing coming,` the four-time Pro Bowler said.
