ARLINGTON, Texas — Many athletes across a wide range in sports can relate to being “locked in” or “in the zone.” In the NFL, there is no wide receiver who has been in a more unshakeable zone than Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
He has over 100 receiving yards in each of his last four games, including setting and resetting his career high in receiving yards in two of the last three weeks. He totaled 117 yards on seven catches in a 20-17 Week 6 win at the Los Angeles Chargers, 158 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns on 12 catches against the Los Angeles Rams in a 43-20 Week 8 win, 191 receiving yards on 11 catches at the Philadelphia Eagles in a 28-23 Week 9 defeat, and 151 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown on 11 catches as well as a 14-yard wide receiver reverse rushing touchdown in the Cowboys’ 49-17 Week 10 home win against the New York Giants in Week 10.
His three-game stretch with 10 or more catches and 150 or more receiving yards makes him the first player in NFL history with those numbers in three games in a row. His 617 receiving yards since Week 6 are the most in the NFL, 127 more than the next closest player — Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (490 receiving yards) — and they are the most in a four-game span by any player in Cowboys history.
“Absolutely,” Lamb said postgame Sunday when asked if he is currently in the zone. “I’m one of one. I’m the top receiver in this game, and there’s no question about it. Competitors, see y’all again next week.”
