Receiver CeeDee Lamb goes off for Cowboys after sounding off about getting the ball

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:41 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — CeeDee Lamb says he doesn’t think the best stretch of his career happens without the Dallas receiver sounding off about his limited role in the blowout loss to San Francisco that preceded it.Dak Prescott doesn’t want to downplay the conversations that grew out of that humbling day in California, but says the way that 42-10 loss played out was “just different.”Coach Mike McCarthy tends to agree with his quarterback on whether Lamb’s current run of three consecutive 100-yard games was sparked by the visible frustration from Lamb against the Niners.“It’s a great story, but I think he played this way last year, in my opinion,” McCarthy said. “Everybody is frustrated, and I appreciate those conversations. I don’t know if I’d say it’s a catalyst. I’d say it’s a reminder of what he can do with the ball.”To McCarthy’s point, it’s not the first time Lamb has caught at least 100 yards in passes in three straight games. But it’s the firs...
