Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb played so well on Saturday night that the NFL was not convinced that it was a fair and legal performance. The league immediately turned around and asked him for a urine sample.
Lamb was “randomly” selected for a drug test within minutes of his record-breaking performance. He returned to his locker after his team defeated the Lions by one point. A notice was there waiting for him!
Dallas desperately needed a win over Detroit— both for morale purposes and for playoff purposes. The Cowboys have a chance to finish atop the NFC East even if the odds aren’t in their favor.
A loss on Saturday would have extinguished those hopes. A win keeps them in the mix.
At the forefront of the crucial victory was Lamb. He accounted for more than half of his team’s total offense on 13 catches for 227 yards and a touchdown.
There is a legitimate case to be made that the 24-year-old is the best wide receiver in the league. Lamb continues to dominate opposing defenses week-in and week-out.
His performance on Saturday was the best of his career in terms of catches and yardage. It also made history!
Lamb surpassed Michael Irvin’s single-season franchise records for receptions and yardage from 1995 with 122 receptions and 1,651 yards on the year. There are still a few games left to be played!
Additionally, Lamb’s 92-yard touchdown was the second-longest in Cowboys history. He also recorded the first 200-yard+ game by a Dallas receiver since Amari Cooper in 2019.
To make the whole thing even crazier, Lamb was frustrated with the lack of touches during the early season. Things have clearly changed!
As a result of his recent tear, CeeDee Lamb must pee in a cup at request of the NFL. The league “wasted no time,” as he said, and immediately turned right around to ensure that he is clean!
