Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is laser-focused on his upcoming game against the New York Giants. After a frustrating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, where uncharacteristic drops hampered his performance, the star receiver sees this as the perfect chance for redemption.

Despite the recent setback, Lamb has had an elite season, racking up 107 receptions, 1,359 yards, and nine touchdowns. While the Cowboys’ record against the Giants is mixed, Lamb himself has a strong track record against them. In his 10 career games against New York, he averages 6.1 receptions for 85.9 yards and half a touchdown per game, for a total of 61 catches, 859 yards, and five scores.

An unnamed source is predicting a significant career outlier for  Lamb as he says, “Oh, he’s pissed. I feel really bad for the Giants this Sunday. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he (CeeDee Lamb) goes for 250 yards and 4 TDs”. Implicating that CeeDee’s anger and frustration might lead to his victory. Looking into the Cowboys ‘ opponents’ performance, the Giants’ defense struggled in their Week 1 loss to the Washington Commanders, and the Cowboys’ offense, led by Dak Prescott, can likely exploit their secondary. The key will be if Prescott can operate without constant pressure.

CeeDee Lamb had made a revelation about his mentality in 2024 before the Cowboys’ game with the Giants. Lamb’s willpower and resilience, which he feels are reflected in the team’s locker room, will be on full display when the Cowboys host the Giants. He says,” I’m willing to do whatever to go out there and have my presence felt.” All he desires is that he gets a chance to put his previous performance behind him. He further added, “I’m all for the team winning if you can’t tell by now.”

The Dallas Cowboys have huge expectations for CeeDee Lamb

In a frustrating 24-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys fell just short of a win, with a few critical plays making all the difference. Chief among them was the uncharacteristic drop by star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

One drop in particular stands out: a perfectly thrown pass from quarterback Dak Prescott to a streaking Lamb, which he failed to secure. This was one of three drops by Lamb during the Week 1 matchup. However, after the game, Lamb immediately took accountability for his performance. He acknowledged that for the Cowboys to succeed, he must be a player who makes every play, especially as the team navigates the absence of Micah Parsons. 

He said, “I can’t point fingers at anybody else. I take full accountability and everything else that comes with that. As a player, I’ve prayed for moments like that, and for the ball to come my way. To not come up with it, it stings a little bit.”

Even the best football players have off days, and Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer made it clear that the team isn’t placing the blame for the recent loss on CeeDee Lamb. He said, “CeeDee’s going to be fine. What a great player,” Schottenheimer said, taking a collective stance. “This was a team defeat, and we own that. We understand where we can go as a football team… We’re all about winning, and we didn’t win tonight, and therefore it’s not good enough.”

The coach’s comments highlight that the team views the defeat as a shared failure. The Cowboys are now motivated to bounce back in their next game, determined to avenge their loss.
