CeeDee Lamb Apologizes to Dak After Ugly Eagles Game — ‘This One’s On Me’
FRISCO, Texas — Even though the Dallas Cowboys walked out of Philadelphia with a dramatic comeback win, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb left the field with more questions than answers about his individual performance. The Pro Bowl pass-catcher publicly shouldered all the blame for his struggles — especially his issues with dropped passes — and admitted he lost his composure during a heated exchange with Dak Prescott. Lamb later apologized to his quarterback.
Troubling Numbers: Lamb’s Worst Drop Rate to Date
According to PFF, Lamb is enduring the most inconsistent stretch of his career:
-
He has eight drops, the most by any Cowboys receiver since Dez Bryant in 2012.
He’s logged 44 receptions for 632 yards — but with the lowest catch rate he’s ever posted.
Against the Eagles, Lamb finished with just four catches for 75 yards — far below what Dallas expects from its WR1.
“I’ve got to catch the damn ball. There’s no excuse for it,” Lamb said after the game.
Missed Opportunities — and Growing Pressure
This isn’t the first time Lamb has let key moments slip away in matchups against Philadelphia. In this game alone, there was a critical fourth-quarter play where Dallas could have taken the lead had Lamb secured the catch.
With the drop total rising and consistency dipping, the attention — and pressure — on Lamb continues to intensify. Still, owner and GM Jerry Jones expressed confidence in him: “We know what he’s capable of.”
Dak Prescott also defended Lamb, reminding everyone that his teammate has bounced back from adversity many times before.
Adding to the pressure, George Pickens — now leading the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns — has stepped into the spotlight, raising questions about the balance of star power in the offense.
Chiefs Up Next — a Chance to Reset
Dallas now prepares for a high-profile showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs — the perfect opportunity for Lamb to reestablish himself. It’s a stage where he can:
-
Restore trust from his quarterback and coaching staff
Put the string of drops behind him
Reassert his role as the true WR1
“I’ve got to play better, communicate better, and set the tone for this team,” Lamb said.
