4. CeeDee Lamb looked like who the fans want him to be

Wow, what a peak into the future that was on Sunday. Or maybe, what is to come from here on out? CeeDee Lamb looked like a player possessed against the Packers, and completely torched a respectable secondary led by Jaire Alexander.

No. 88 racked up a whopping 150 yards and two touchdowns on 11 catches and was Prescott’s favorite target. Lamb led the team with 15 targets, seven more than the next highest (Dalton Schultz).

He wasn’t perfect, as a miscue midway through the game led to an interception in the endzone, but we saw just how unstoppable Lamb could be. Most of his production came against Alexander, where he gained 55 yards and a touchdown on four catches and six targets against the elite corner.

This was the breakout Lamb needed. He’s been really solid all year, but he had yet to have a 100-yard game this season until Sunday. Hopefully, this continues throughout the rest of the season because Prescott is at his best when he can have a reliable target in the middle of the field.
