2. CeeDee Lamb Had Perhaps His Best Game as a Cowboy

On paper, you’d say this takeaway is certainly not true. However, have you seen him just take over in a way like he did Sunday night? Sure, maybe the game against the New England Patriots last season, where he went for nearly 150 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner.

You can even go back as recently as the loss to the Packers just a few weeks ago, where he put up a nearly identical statline. However, Lamb just looked so locked in on Sunday. He always seemed to get open when it mattered most, making huge plays on crossing routes and even in the backfield.

Lamb made big play after big play, including the unbelievable touchdown shown above. He ended the night with five catches for 71 receiving yards and a touchdown. As stated before, he also made an impact out of the backfield with back-to-back carries amounting to 23 rushing yards.

No. 88 was dominant. He has really taken off since Dak Prescott returned from injury. The two have made a pairing reminiscent to the Tony Romo-Dez Bryant days. Perhaps, this time around, a championship or two could come of it.
