Dallas Cowboys<\/a> wide receiver CeeDee Lamb<\/a> opened the 2025 season in uncharacteristic fashion. The four-time Pro Bowler dropped four passes in a Dallas 24-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, three of which came in the second half. That included multiple potential big plays deep in the fourth quarter that would have put the Cowboys in a position to take the lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Man, that’s terrible,” Lamb said after the game. “Honestly, I feel like I can’t point no fingers at anybody else, you know what I’m saying? I take full accountability and everything else that comes with it because as for me, as a player, I pray for moments like that and the ball to come my way. Obviously, for me to not come up with it, it stings a little bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But I will tell you, if you think I’m not coming back 80\u00a0times harder than this, you got another thing coming.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lamb’s first notable late-game drop came with 2:44 left in the game. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott<\/a> threaded a deep ball to Lamb, who got behind two Eagles defenders, but the pass bounced out of Lamb’s hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few plays later, Dallas lined up to go for it on fourth-and-3 from its own 45-yard line. Prescott again tried to connect with Lamb on a deep pass. Lamb, who had a step on Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean<\/a>, dove to bring the ball in but could not make the play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Philadelphia gained possession after Lamb’s second consequential drop and drained the clock, earning a Week 1 win against its NFC East rival.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lamb still caught a game-high seven passes for 110 yards. The former Oklahoma star is on the hunt for a fifth consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb opened the 2025 season in uncharacteristic fashion.
