CeeDee Lamb faces the ultimate test on Thanksgiving as he seeks to bounce back from a dismal performance in their latest win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite struggling with crucial drops, quarterback Dak Prescott remains confident in his teammate's abilities, predicting a "huge game" for Lamb.
In fact, the statistics tell a different story – three dropped passes in that very game. The normally reliable wideout is now just 29 yards shy of becoming the first Dallas receiver to reach 7,000 yards in their first six seasons.
However, this has become a familiar trend for Lamb. Following his career-high eight dropped passes this season, he responded by catching nine passes for 112 yards against the New York Giants. Similarly, after missing time due to an ankle sprain sustained in Week 3, he returned with five catches for 110 yards against the Washington Commanders.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer echoed Prescott's confidence, saying that Lamb "loves the bright lights" and has a fire in his eye that means business. The team will likely need this spark to propel them forward on Thanksgiving as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
With a strong track record of bouncing back from adversity, Lamb enters Thursday's contest with 44 receptions for 632 yards and two touchdowns. It remains to be seen if he can silence his doubters and prove himself against the formidable Chiefs defense. The game kicks off at 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
The Cowboys' upcoming test will ultimately determine whether Prescott's faith in Lamb is justified, or if it marks another step into uncharted territory for one of the league's most promising young receivers.

he's been having some tough games but every time he's bounced back with huge performances 
and he's so close to hitting that 7k yard mark 
it's crazy he just needs one more big game to quiet all the doubters 
the chiefs defense is gonna be tough tho 
can't wait for thursday's matchup, hopefully lamb comes out on top 
, I'm so curious to see how CeeDee Lamb bounces back from those dropped passes! Dak Prescott seems super confident in him though 
. The stats say he's got 7k yards to go, but history doesn't lie - he's proven himself before when things aren't going his way 
. I mean, can the Chiefs' defense really shut him down? That would be quite a story 
!
omg i cant believe i just saw this thread and im so outta it lol lamb is probs gonna have a huge game tho 
hes always been clutch when he needs to be, but thats said and done now... what matters is that cee dee has the skills to back up his coach's confidence 
632 yards in like 6 games is nothing to sneeze at, i think lamb will def prove himself against the chiefs 
he's such a beast on the field and i know he's gonna light it up against the Chiefs! 
he always proves ppl wrong with his clutch performances. Dak Prescott is lucky to have him on his team 
and i'm def hyped for this game!! 
go Cowboys!!
I'm so frustrated with CeeDee Lamb right now!!! 
It's like everyone expects him to be perfect and when he has a bad game, suddenly he's done. But I know better 
, this guy is so underrated. 
, it's not that hard to catch a few passes when you're getting paid millions of dollars. And yeah I get what coach Schottenheimer is saying about Lamb having a fire in his eye but what about all the times he comes back from injuries? 
That takes guts and Lambs got it.
7,000 yards is almost here! I'm hyped for this game and I know Lamb's gonna come through 
44 receptions for 632 yards and two touchdowns? no sweat 
4:30 p.m. ET on CBS, don't miss it!!! 
i mean, he's only 29 yards shy of reaching 7k yards in like 6 seasons already, that's some crazy stats 
and now they're playing against the chiefs defense which is just on a whole nother level 
coach schottenheimer says he loves the bright lights and has that fire in his eye, but is that just talking out of his hat or does it actually mean something?
