Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb recently spoke about the struggles of the team’s offense following a Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. While Lamb had a solid performance with eight catches for 93 yards, he acknowledged that the offense as a whole needs to improve. Despite the team’s issues, Lamb refused to fuel any quarterback controversy, especially with Dak Prescott sidelined. He addressed the situation with Cooper Rush, saying that while Rush missed a couple of passes, their overall connection was improving.
Lamb was supportive of Rush, noting that the quarterback has shown growth in his performances. “He’s going to be better as the season progresses,” Lamb said, emphasizing that the confidence Rush is gaining with each start is evident. The wide receiver’s comments were a strong endorsement for Rush, especially amid speculation about whether the Cowboys might turn to Trey Lance as a potential starter.
Although Lamb defended Rush, he was also realistic about the current state of the offense. He admitted that the Cowboys haven’t “figured it out” yet, which is frustrating for everyone involved. Lamb pointed out that scoring touchdowns would drastically change the conversation, suggesting that the offense simply needs to finish drives to find success.
Lamb has been playing through injuries, including a back and shoulder issue, which he has been dealing with since Week 9. Despite the pain, Lamb has continued to suit up for the team, showing his toughness and commitment. However, fans are growing restless, as the team holds a disappointing 3-6 record, and many are beginning to question whether the Cowboys should consider making changes to their approach.
With seven games left in the season, the Cowboys are under pressure to turn things around, especially as attendance at games starts to dip. While Lamb’s gritty performances are admirable, the team needs to show tangible improvement to re-engage the fanbase and stay in the playoff hunt. The clock is ticking, and fans want to see results.
In sum, Lamb’s comments reflect both his belief in Rush’s potential and his acknowledgment of the Cowboys’ offensive struggles. With the season on the line, Lamb and the team will need to find a way to finish more drives and get into the end zone to salvage their season. As Lamb said, it’s all about executing when it matters most.
