Dak Prescott expects a “big game” for CeeDee Lamb on Thanksgiving Day after the star receiver struggled in the Dallas Cowboys’ latest win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
And it has the statistics to back it up.
Lamb dropped three crucial passes in the Cowboys’ victory over the defending Super Bowl champions on Sunday, including a possible touchdown. It’s been a trend for the typically dominant receiver, 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 didn’t seem fazed by Lamb’s offensive struggles.

“A great game,” he said of his expectations for Lamb. “Just go back and look at your career, right? Any game where maybe you haven’t played at your level or you’ve had a slump here or it’s been a frustrating game, the way you’ve responded has been unquestionable. I know earlier this year, it was the same way from the first time we played them to their next game. I don’t expect this to be any different.”
According to 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 receptions for 112 yards. Similarly, after missing time due to a sprained ankle suffered in Week 3, Lamb returned for a Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders and caught five passes for 110 yards in a 44-22 victory.

“You’ve got a guy one-on-one with those guys, I have a lot of confidence in our guys 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 loves bright lights,” Schottenheimer said, via ESPN. “He’s an unbelievable football player, and he has that look in his eye that means business. It’s the same look he had after the first Philly game. I think I let the cat out of the bag a little bit, but there will be a lot of balls hitting 88 on Thursday afternoon.”
