The Dallas Cowboys fell to a rare 1-2 record on Sunday after losing to the Baltimore Ravens, 28-25. A major reason for the Cowboys’ struggles was an unusually poor performance by star receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Lamb fumbled and dropped a crucial pass, leading to growing frustrations. He was seen having an intense conversation with quarterback Dak Prescott on the sideline, raising concerns that the Cowboys were losing control.

Lamb didn’t speak to reporters after the game but later apologized for his actions and for “failing” the team and himself. Lamb addressed the situation, admitting that his body language only added to the concerns viewers had.

“It’s about being professional through it all and recognizing it’s a long game,” Lamb said. “But for me, I expect a lot from myself, more than anyone else does. And honestly, I let myself down. I also let the team down by not producing and being the playmaker they count on.”

Players can often become frustrated, especially when things aren’t going well in critical moments. The Cowboys usually start the season strong, but falling to 1-2 is unusual for this playoff-caliber team.

“Yeah, I let the game get in my head a bit. But I know what I can do, what I bring to the table. Going forward, there will be a difference,” said Lamb.

Lamb is one of the team’s top leaders, and his frustrations shouldn’t escalate to the point of arguing with Prescott or anyone else. Despite speculation about tensions between him and Prescott, Lamb clarified their sideline exchange.

“Our relationship, if anything, has gotten stronger,” Lamb said. “Don’t believe the rumors. We’re like brothers. I have the utmost respect for him. You’ll see the energy, passion, and love, and in the end, we make up.”

The Cowboys can turn things around on Thursday when they face the New York Giants. Even with a short week, Dallas is expected to win.

The Giants are dealing with several injuries. Both Adoree’ Jackson and Dru Phillips are out, weakening their secondary, and receiver Darius Slayton is questionable with a thumb injury.
