Vs. the 49ers Week 8
(October 27, 2024) - All-Pro CeeDee Lamb has led Dallas in yards receiving in four of its six games, but is still looking for his first 100-yard day. The three-time Pro Bowler had eight last season. ESPN analyst and former Dallas QB Troy Aikman, a three-time Super Bowl winner, criticized Lamb’s route-running in a radio appearance a few days after the loss to the Lions.
Aikman said of the Cowboys’ entire receiving corps that they run “terrible routes" while also saying they appear "lazy".
When asked on Thursday about Aikman’s remarks, Lamb simply said the Cowboys have “got to be better overall.”
"Next question," he said in an effort to avoid discussing the remarks any further.
Lamb and QB Dak Prescott have already had a couple of tense sideline moments this season. A year ago, Lamb’s sideline antics drew plenty of attention at the Niners on a miserable day for the Dallas offense in a 42-10 loss.
Lamb caught 7-of-14 targets for 89 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 6 loss to the Lions.
CeeDee Lamb's passing yards total for this game was coming in with an Over/Under of 74.5.
From NBC Edge:
"It wasn’t a bad fantasy day for Lamb, but all but one of his receptions came in the first half, which is surprising given the negative game script the Cowboys found themselves in all game long. His two longest receptions came on drives that ended with field goals, as the Cowboys could not string together a touchdown drive in the defeat. Lamb now enters a Week 7 bye and will return in Week 8 to face the 49ers on Sunday Night Football."
