Despite some early drops, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott made it clear that he wasn’t going to stop targeting WR CeeDee Lamb as much as needed.
“‘Yeah, I’m not going to stop throwing you the ball. That’s a game, bro,’” Prescott said he told Lamb, via ProFootballTalk.com. “Same thing I told y’all. It wasn’t the best day.

It’s not going to change. It’s not like he’s been any different than the past. You can just tell from his demeanor that he wants to make up for that.”

When asked if Tracy’s usage was the result of team discipline, HC Brian Daboll responded that they wanted to be wise with Tracy after contributing on five kickoff returns.
“No,” Daboll said, via Ryan Dunleavy of the NY Post. *“Tracy had a number of kickoff returns [five for 132 yards] that I thought … you give him a break off of there. We thought we...
