“Not Really Pointing Fingers”: CeeDee Lamb Gets 100 Percent Real on Dak Prescott’s Emotions as Cowboys Fail to Break 28 Years Old Curse

Following today’s Dallas Cowboys‘ loss to the Packers, CeeDee Lamb seemed quite upset with the disappointing end to their season. During the game an incident that stole the spotlight was when Lamb and Dak Prescott were spotted exchanging words from the sidelines following their disheartening start. Although the head coach settled the concern, Lamb’s recent statement reflects a different picture.

Dallas lost to the Packers in a 32-48 upset, shattering their Super Bowl dreams. It has been 28 years since the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Packers in the 1995 NFC championship. On top of that, Lamb and Prescott were not at their full potential as they had been in previous matches and this has bothered the wide receiver.

CeeDee Lamb rues “miscues” with Dak Prescott

In the latest press conference on the Dallas Cowboys YouTube channel after the Cowboys and Packers wild-card round, Lamb discussed the struggles associated with the matchup. During the presser, Lamb seemed upset about his performance along with his QB’s efforts. When the interviewer asked Lamb about the” first couple of throws,” he said, “A couple of miscues, um, everyday things that, I mean, that’s completions that we normally make, you know. My part could have been better, and, um, I’m sure he (Prescott) would be saying this. Not pointing fingers, I feel I could have done a better job of making the completion.” 

The WR seemed to be highlighting how both he and his teammate could have played better for the side and remarked about Prescott surely feeling the same way. Prescott also shared his views on the defeat and gave credit to their opponents.

He said, “I mean, credit them for some of the early looks, disguising how they were going to play (Lamb). Then late after the snap, moving, and obviously not giving me the same picture pre-snap as they did post-snap. Credit to them.” However, it turns out Lamb was perhaps not on the same page as his teammate regarding the assessment.

Lamb said, “Not really, no,” when asked if the Packers had done anything special regarding their coverages The wide receiver, in an emotional tone, said, “Terrible; obviously, I felt we’re playing next week, but unfortunately, that’s not the case.” Lamb couldn’t control his emotions when asked about his feelings post-game, as they won’t play in the divisional rounds of playoffs. The wide receiver, in an emotional tone, said, “Terrible; obviously, I felt we’re playing next week, but unfortunately, that’s not the case.” 

The emotion is fair enough, as Lamb unexpectedly struggled to connect with Prescott in the initial phase of the showdown. In addition, he missed four passes in the first half. The Packers’ defense hampered the Cowboys’ offensive rhythm, resulting in a 27-0 deficit at one point in the game.

On top of that, the match couldn’t even witness the Lamb and Prescott power duo like in previous games.

The Cowboys power duo misfire in the playoff clash

Today’s showdown couldn’t witness the power-packed performances of Lamb and Dak Prescott. Both the champions are known for their beautiful chemistry on the field. Lamb holds the record of 1,749 receiving yards. Moreover, he has 135 catches and has caught a third of Prescott’s touchdown passes. In this season itself, during the showdown against the Rams, Lamb and Prescott together had 12 catches on 14 targets. The power duo is one of the most talked-about pairs in the NFL, with the wide receiver and quarterback potentially having at least 30 attempts.

Lamb even once acknowledged how much he depends on Prescott, as he said, “At my position, he’s relying on me, and I’m relying on him.” He further emphasized that he trusted the quarterback, resulting from their years of togetherness. However, today’s game was disappointing, as the duo couldn’t put forth their usual performance. Even Prescott showed his dissatisfaction by saying he deserves the blame for the outcome as much as their head coach does. Prescott also said after the regular season that no one had put in as much work as them going back to the offseason. But their regular season form couldn’t translate into playoff success.
