Blogging The Boys
Things got off to a weird start for the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night.
The Cowboys received the ball to start their game against the Raiders, Vegas won the toss and deferred, and when they took the field there was no sign of wide receivers CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens on it.
The ESPN broadcast showed the team’s top two offensive weapons on the sideline as Joe Buck and Troy Aikman speculated what was going on. After the Cowboys went three and out it was reported by Lisa Salters that Lamb and Pickens were absent from the possession not for any sort of injury reason, but a “coach’s decision” which sparked all sorts of intrigue.
It appeared as if Lamb and Pickens were being punished for something, but the exact reasoning is obviously unknown at this time.
Both Lamb and Pickens were on the field to start the second possession of the game for the Cowboys so their punishment was a short one.
Strange, nonetheless.
