FRISCO, Texas — If you played sports growing up, at any level at all, how vividly can you remember your best game you ever played?
For Dallas Cowboys 2023 First Team All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, that’s pretty easy. It’s his 13-catch, 227-yard explosion against the Detroit Lions in Week 17 last season.

Understand how they’re going to try to play us. They’re going to for sure try to take him away. Especially when you look back at that game, you see the numbers that he was able to produce. Got different ways to get him the ball still and just confident in what he’ll be able to do. It would be great to get in a rhythm…
