Dallas Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb opened up about why he and teammate George Pickens were benched for the first series of the team’s victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Lamb explained that he and Pickens were out late at a Las Vegas casino and were disciplined for returning after curfew. The wide receiver also said he wanted to refute reports on social media that he was seen vomiting in the casino the morning before the game.

“It’s disrespectful to even suggest that,” Lamb said, via The Dallas Morning News. “I know how to hold my liquor.”
Regardless of the bench, Lamb and Pickens had a dynamite game.
Pickens had nine receptions for 144 yards and a 37-yard touchdown reception. Lamb had five receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown. His touchdowns helped contribute to Dak Prescott’s incredible play as he went 25-for-33 with 268 passing yards and four touchdown passes.
