CeeDee Lamb‘s performance in the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to Lamar Jackson‘s Baltimore Ravens in NFL Week 3 was less than stellar. The wide receiver made mistakes and had a poor attitude off the field, prompting him to take a hard look at his own level of self-criticism.
All-Pro Lamb hadn’t spoken to reporters on Sunday after the loss, but decided to step in front of the microphones on the Cowboys‘ short week ahead of their game on Thursday night. Among other things, the 25-year-old spoke about the play in which he dropped a pass and lost a loose ball, leading to a heated argument with teammate Dak Prescott.
“I played a part in that loss. A big part, honestly,” Lamb said, breaking the silence. “I expect a lot from myself, more than anybody could put on me. I failed myself and obviously failed the team in terms of being an important player,” the wide receiver added.
While Prescott did not speak to the media about what happened with Lamb, the Cowboys wide receiver did set the record straight. “Our relationship, if anything, has strengthened. I have the utmost respect for him. I look at him as a brother,” he said.
