CeeDee Lamb gave Dallas exactly the kind of spark it needed on Monday night, turning a red-zone snap into a highlight-reel touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Cowboys’ star receiver has spent his NFL career building a reputation for making defenders pay, and Cooper DeJean was the latest one to get caught in the mix. In the first quarter, with Dallas inside the nine-yard line, Dak Prescott delivered a pass to the end zone, and Lamb finished the job by winning the matchup and hauling in the score.
That was the kind of play Lamb has made a habit of producing, another flashy entry for what the source described as his touchdown mixtape.
Dallas entered the game at 2-4 through six contests, and the slow start has put extra pressure on the Cowboys to string together wins. Lamb’s touchdown was part of a first-half effort that helped Dallas stay ahead, with the Cowboys taking a 20-14 lead into halftime.
Prescott has done his part through the air, completing 12 of 21 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Javonte Williams has paced the ground game with 10 carries for 67 yards.

Next up for Dallas is a home date with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. The Cowboys are set to host that game on Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. ET.
