During the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the Baltimore Ravens, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was involved in a heated moment with quarterback Dak Prescott on the sideline. This interaction sparked backlash from fans and commentators alike.
Lamb and Prescott are regarded as one of the top quarterback-wide receiver duos in the NFL. With Prescott holding the title of the highest-paid quarterback and Lamb being the second-highest-paid wide receiver, expectations for their performance are high.
Entering their Week 3 matchup, the Cowboys aimed to improve their record to 2-1. However, the Ravens dominated early on, and despite a late push from Dallas, they ultimately lost 28-25.
As the teams approached halftime, the Cowboys failed to score another touchdown. Lamb and Prescott walked off the field together, during which Lamb appeared to express frustration towards Prescott.
At that point in the game, Lamb had recorded only three targets, three receptions, and 58 yards, with no touchdowns to show for his efforts. Earlier, he had also fumbled a pass on the Ravens’ 10-yard line.
Social media was quick to criticize Lamb’s intensity, questioning why he was so vocal when he had contributed to the team’s struggles. One fan pointed out, “Why is no one yelling at him to not fumble the game away?”
Another remarked on the impact of his fumble, suggesting it shifted momentum away from the Cowboys. Several fans highlighted his earlier mistakes, questioning the appropriateness of his frustration with Prescott.
Comments about Lamb’s performance included observations about his inability to gain separation and the significance of his fumble. Many felt he should focus on improving his own play rather than directing anger at his quarterback.
Lamb concluded the game with seven targets, four receptions, 67 yards, and still no touchdowns. His post-game performance left many feeling disappointed, given the expectations placed on him.
Looking ahead, the Cowboys are set to face the New York Giants in Week 4, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday. The team hopes to regroup and address the issues that surfaced during the loss to Baltimore.
