It was a close matchup, but the Dallas Cowboys prevailed in their battle against the Seattle Seahawks at home, thanks in large part to the work of one great receiver. Things got intense through it all when not one punt happened. This gave both sides an opportunity to make a statement, but the Cowboys held their own capitalizing against a team with a winning record.
This wasn’t the only record that was broken that night. DaRon Bland added one more interception to his resume after breaking an NFL record with a handful of pick-sixes in a single season. However, the defense got exposed but the offense carried their own weight to deliver a win at AT&T Stadium. There are now more questions than answers to be addressed, but that’s all for another time. Dak Prescott capped off his MVP status tonight by throwing it to Jake Ferguson late in the fourth quarter.
Despite the tough battle, Dallas continues to extend their winning streak at home as the playoff season is inching closer. There is one star on the receiving corps that everyone is familiar with. CeeDee Lamb’s campaign for the team since stepping foot in the star has been remarkable. Cowboys fans can finally relax and say they have their new top receiver who will look for a contract extension after the season.

Dallas Cowboys Star Receiver Breaks Unprecedented Record
Ceedee Lamb Breaks Extraordinary Record
Lamb officially became the first player in NFL history to have at least three consecutive games with 10 or more catches and 150 or more receiving yards. He also became the first player in Cowboys history with three 1,000-yard seasons in his first four seasons. Hold your breath Dallas fans, this isn’t the last of it. The Cowboys receiver also broke Hall of Famer Bob Hayes’ record for most 100-yard receiving games in his first four seasons.
Hallelujah, Cowboys fans. It’s a good day to be a fan of America’s team. Lamb capped off his night against the Seahawks with 12 receptions for 146 total yards. It’s like every game that this star receiver is getting better. Now the Dallas Cowboys offense is looking hot and a legit contender for the playoffs.
They already have their ticket in the Wild Card but the expectation is that the Cowboys will extend their success in a possible NFC Championship. Dallas fans will have to worry about that later, the stretch is still long with five games left this season. His miraculous performance is coming right in time to secure him to be a Cowboy for life.
Ceedee Lamb Should Be in the MVP Conversations
There’s no question that Lamb should be highly considered as the MVP of the year in the league. As he continues to climb the mantle, he’s becoming unparalleled for any defender to handle him at the line. Yes, guys like Tyreek Hill, Ja’Marr Chase, DK Metcalf, and Justin Jefferson are deserving of their flowers, but Lamb is becoming a legit bonafide star receiver.
The Cowboys receiver responded to critics about his game a couple of weeks ago, “I’m the top receiver in this game. There’s no question about it. If there is, I’ll see you again next week.”
Lamb is putting his money where his mouth is. He is winning at every level, over the middle, on the outside, running away from defensive backs and making ridiculous one-handed stabs. His Thursday performance against Seattle is just adding more decorations to the cake. Lamb isn’t worried about the keyboard warriors, he’s continuing to help bring this team to the promised land.
Expectations for Ceedee Lamb for the Rest of the Year
As many critics can talk about Lamb through the media, he is overcoming that adversity. It’s already an astounding career for the 24-year-old star receiver and he’s only going to continue surpassing milestones. As long as he keeps getting open in the spread, he will be a problem to top defenses in the league. The Cowboys receiver can be the go-to receiver in the deep route and the slant, so no matter where is, expect records to be broken.
