Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb on limited production, sideline spat with Dak Prescott: ‘I failed myself’

CeeDee Lamb is off to a slow start in 2024 after a career season in which he led the NFL in receptions.

As are his Dallas Cowboys, who followed up a blowout loss in Week 2 to the New Orleans Saints with another loss at home to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday to fall to 1-2.

Lamb’s limited production on Sunday raised eyebrows. He finished the game with four catches for 67 yards. He caught just one pass for nine yards on six targets from Dak Prescott after halftime as the Cowboys played from behind a 28-6 deficit. He also drew a false-start penalty and failed to connect with Prescott on a late two-point conversion attempt.

But it was perhaps his visible frustration on the sideline that drew more attention. Lamb was seen arguing with Prescott and coaches on the sideline and slamming his hands on the turf on the field.

Lamb declined to speak with media after the game, raising more questions about the state of the Cowboys and their All-Pro wide receiver.

“And obviously, I failed the team just as far as producing and being that game-breaker player for the team and obviously the guy that they can lean on. And yeah, I kinda let the game get to my head a little bit. But in the same sense, I knew what I can do, I knew what I bring to the table and I know what I can do on that field. So with that being said, going forward, there shall be a difference.”

Lamb was then asked to clarify if his frustrations are with himself.

“Absolutely, absolutely myself,”…
