FRISCO, Texas — CeeDee Lamb is having the best receiving season in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. His league-leading 122 catches and 1,651 receiving yards both broke Hall of Famer Michael Irvin’s previous franchise single-season records set back in the last Super Bowl championship season for Dallas in 1995.
Irvin made sure to talk to Lamb after he broke both records in the Cowboys’ 20-19 Week 17 win against the Detroit Lions, leaving him motivated for the postseason.
“Obviously, congratulations,” Lamb said Thursday when asked what Irvin’s message to him was after breaking the former No. 88’s records. “It was a big moment for me, of course. Then, just keep battling, keep going. Now it’s time to go chase the ring was basically the end message. I’m with that. That’s always been my end goal and still is.”
What’s crystal clear entering the playoffs is that Lamb is one of the NFL’s best receivers, leading the position in targets (168), catches (122), yards from scrimmage (1,757) and catches of 20 or more yards (29).
“Most definitely, I’m definitely one of the elite receivers in this game,” Lamb said. “I worked my tail off to be that and to say that confidently. Having that ability. It’s good to be elite, but how consistent?. How long can you be elite is the next challenge. I’m looking forward to it. Can’t wait.”
