The Monday night game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Ney York Giants was nothing short of a roller-coaster ride. Especially for the ones who were pinning their fantasy league hopes on Cowboys’ wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

In a relatively uneventful first half, Lamb brought about an iconic blunder. One that made fans and bettors go ‘Hulk smash’ crazy. With 4:37 to go in the 2nd quarter, Cowboys’ secondary QB Cooper Rush throws a long pass downfield, towards Lamb. What could have easily been a 40-yard pass, or at best a 52-yard touchdown, ends up being an incomplete pass as the ball just bumps out of Lamb’s hands.
But redemption arcs are something spectacular, at least in the NFL. And Lamb’s redemption is nothing different.

1st and Goal, with only a yard to go, Rush throws a pass towards the far end. And waiting for the ball is none other than CeeDee Lamb, who makes a spectacular left-handed catch for a touchdown, even as Giants’ cornerback Adoree’ Jackson sent him tumbling towards the photographers.
LeBron James and Dez Bryant stunned at CeeDee Lamb’s stunning catch
Lamb’s catch is something of a sensation, especially on Twitter. So much so that Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and former Cowboys’ WR Dez Bryant had their own words for Lamb’s acrobatics.
OMG CEEDEE 🐑!!!!!!!!! WOW

Even former NBA Hall of Famer Earvin Magic Johnson shared his thoughts about the Dallas defense.
I’ve watched most of the NFL games this season and so far, the Cowboys defense has been the best at pressuring the quarterback.

Before long, the NFL Twitter community is already out en masse, with the memes and the jokes about Lamb’s lopsided performances. Although he had better than decent stats for the evening, it seems his drop might have affected some more than others.
Just smashed my TV in front of 22 guests at my sons birthday party because of the Giants. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at her mom’s house. This team has ruined my marriage. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye, I am no longer a fan.
