Dak Prescott expects a “huge game” for CeeDee Lamb this Thanksgiving after the star receiver struggled in the Dallas Cowboys’ last win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
And he has the stats to prove it.
Lamb dropped three crucial passes in the Cowboys’ win over the defending Super Bowl champions on Sunday, including a potential touchdown. It’s a trend for the usually dominant player, who is just 29 yards away from becoming the first Dallas receiver to reach 7,000 yards in his first six seasons.

But speaking to reporters before the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game against the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Dak Prescott seemed unfazed by Lamb’s offensive struggles.

“A huge game,” he said of his expectations for Lamb. “You just go back and look at his career, right? Every game where he maybe didn’t play to his level, had a slump here or was a frustrating game, the way he responded was unquestionable. I know at the start of this year it was the same from the first time we played them until his next game. I don’t expect it to be any different.”
According to the the team website, Lamb struggled in the season opener against Philadelphia, dropping three passes. But he responded the following week against the New York Giants with nine catches for 112 yards. Likewise, after missing time due to a high ankle sprain suffered in Week 3, Lamb returned for a Week 7 game against the Washington Commanders and caught five passes for 110 yards in the 44–22 victory.

“You get a guy one-on-one with those guys, I have so much confidence in our guys that they’re going to make the play,” Prescott added of Lamb and George Pickens.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer echoed Prescott’s confidence in Lamb despite his career-high eight dropped passes this season.
“He likes bright lights,” Schottenheimer said, via ESPN. “He’s an incredible football player, and he has this look in his eyes that is serious. It’s the same look he had after the first Philadelphia game. I think I let the cat out of the bag a little bit, but there’s going to be a lot of balls going to 88 on Thursday afternoon.”
