CeeDee Lamb Takes Blame for Four Drops as Cowboys Lose Opener to Eagles 24–20

The star wideout still posted 110 yards, drawing public support from Brian Schottenheimer and Jerry Jones.

Overview

  • Lamb accepted full responsibility for the miscues, saying he takes accountability and needs to “catch the damn ball.”
  • Despite the drops, he recorded 7 receptions for 110 yards on 13 targets in the season opener.
  • ESPN’s tracking cited seven drops for Lamb last season and 35 since 2020, the most in the league over that span.
  • Coach Brian Schottenheimer said not to worry about Lamb and called the result a team defeat, a message echoed by owner Jerry Jones.
  • Analysts noted several of the throws were catchable and suggested the drops likely swung the close game in Philadelphia’s favor.
