CeeDee Lamb Takes Blame for Costly Drops in Cowboys’ 24-20 Opener Loss to Eagles

Dak Prescott and Brian Schottenheimer publicly backed the star receiver after the defeat.

Overview

  • Lamb acknowledged multiple drops, including late-game miscues, after finishing with seven catches for 110 yards on 13 targets.
  • Official tallies varied on the number of drops, with Next Gen Stats listing two, ESPN noting three, and some outlets citing four.
  • Prescott said he would not lose confidence in Lamb, and Schottenheimer called it a team loss while expressing full faith in his top receiver.
  • The game featured unusual moments, including All-Pro Jalen Carter’s pre-snap ejection and a prolonged lightning delay, as Jalen Hurts rushed for two touchdowns.
  • Lamb vowed to study the film and respond, with a rebound chance coming in Week 2 against the Giants on September 14 at AT&T Stadium.
