The Monday night game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Ney York Giants was nothing short of a roller-coaster ride. Especially for the ones who were pinning their fantasy league hopes on Cowboys’ wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. 

In a relatively uneventful first half, Lamb brought about an iconic blunder. One that made fans and bettors go ‘Hulk smash’ crazy. With 4:37 to go in the 2nd quarter, Cowboys’ secondary QB Cooper Rush throws a long pass downfield, towards Lamb. What could have easily been a 40-yard pass, or at best a 52-yard touchdown, ends up being an incomplete pass as the ball just bumps out of Lamb’s hands.

But redemption arcs are something spectacular, at least in the NFL. And Lamb’s redemption is nothing different.

1st and Goal, with only a yard to go, Rush throws a pass towards the far end. And waiting for the ball is none other than CeeDee Lamb, who makes a spectacular left-handed catch for a touchdown, even as Giants’ cornerback Adoree’ Jackson sent him tumbling towards the photographers.

Lamb’s catch is something of a sensation, especially on Twitter. So much so that Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and former Cowboys’ WR Dez Bryant had their own words for Lamb’s acrobatics.

Even former NBA Hall of Famer Earvin Magic Johnson shared his thoughts about the Dallas defense.
