Blogging The Boys
CeeDee Lamb is pretty candid about how he’s addressing his issues with dropping the football.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb did not need to do any deep dive on why he dropped three passes, including a potential touchdown, in Sunday’s win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“You just find ways to get better,” Lamb said. “You want to be solution-oriented and not really much to dwell on the problem. Granted, we know the problem, I need to catch the f—ing ball. Other than that, man, we’ll be fine. When I do catch it, be ready.”
Lamb has dropped eight passes, a career high, and the most by a Cowboys player in a single season since Dez Bryant had nine in 2012, according to ESPN Research.
Six of the eight drops have come against the Eagles.
“It’s really just lack of focus on my end, honestly,” Lamb said. “Just thinking doing two before one. There’s been plenty of that going on, and by that, I’m thinking about my next move before catching the ball and things of that nature.

“It’s vital, you’ve got to reset,” Prescott said. “Yea, that was a great win, great, tough win, emotional coming back from down 21, but it was only to be celebrated that night to be honest with you… Especially on the short week, you’ve got to move forward, you’ve got to get on your film, you’ve got to find a way to crunch five days into two, two and a half, three days.”
It’s not easy to compress that much information for a quick-turnaround game against any opponent, but much less when it’s the Kansas City Chiefs, who played in Super Bowl LIX against the Eagles, who Dallas played on Sunday.
“We know how talented and good this team is coming in,” Prescott said. “We know how important it is to start fast, and that’s our focus. However, if that doesn’t happen, you’ve got to be resilient, you’ve got to show competitive stamina. At the end of the day, it’s a four-quarter game and that is what the goodness of last week does.”
All of Kansas City’s losses have come in one-possession games. While their 6-5 record may not be indicative of it, the Chiefs’ offense has continued to play well, and...
