Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb does something only Michael Irvin had done before

The Cowboys’ star receiver was rewarded with a huge contract before the year and continues to prove his worth, bailing out his QB on his way to a score.

After a ridiculously slow star to the passing game, Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb has come to the rescue. On the third play of the game, Lamb caught a slant out of 22 personnel and took it downfield for 30 yards, only an illegal formation penalty brought the play back. If it had stood, that would’ve given Lamb over 1,000 receiving yards on the season.

The first quarter expired with QB Cooper Rush struggling to even look downfield and early in the second quarter he had just 12 passing yards as Dallas had the ball for the third time. Despite Rush’s off-target throws, though, Lamb’s immense talent allowed him to corral a couple off-target passes and surpass the milestone. After entering the game with 973 receiving yards, it’s now Lamb’s fourth-straight 1,000-yard season.

He’s only the second Cowboys receiver to accomplish the feat, joining Michael Irvin who did it five straight years from 1991 through 1995.

Lamb put a cherry on top of the drive catching a back-shoulder fade in the right side of the end zone for a touchdown to give Dallas a 7-0 lead.
