It didn’t take long for former Oklahoma star CeeDee Lamb to have his breakout game in the NFL.
The rookie wide receiver led the Dallas Cowboys in receiving with 106 yards in his second career NFL game. Dallas, who trailed the Atlanta Falcons 29-10 at halftime, pulled out a last-second 40-39 win, in which Lamb played a major role.
Lamb’s catch-and-run late in the fourth quarter helped set up a game-winning field goal for the Cowboys.

The former Oklahoma wide receiver started all three years during his career for the Sooners. Lamb’s biggest year was his final year, averaging 21.4 yards a catch on 62 catches for 1,327 yards. He was a Biletnikoff Award finalist for college football’s best pass catcher regardless of position.
The Dallas Cowboys selected Lamb with the 17th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He was inserted into Dallas’ starting lineup immediately.
The Cowboys are 1-1 to start the 2020 season and travel to Seattle to play the Seahawks in Week 3.
