Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb has been in the headlines after the Philadelphia Eagles’ win, but not for his superb 48-yard reception, but due to several critical drops.
Lamb caught just four of his 11 targets as his drop issues resurfaced against Philadelphia.
Luckily, the Cowboys had George Pickens, who caught all nine of his targets for 146 yards and a touchdown to pick up the slack, and considering where Dallas is in its season, it can’t afford one of its best offensive players to have a big off day like that.
Granted, Lamb still managed 75 yards, but had a couple of his targets been caught, it would have been another 100-yard game.
As the Kansas City Chiefs come into view, what does Dak Prescott envision for Lamb on Thanksgiving?
“A huge game,” Prescott said. “Just go back and look at the career. Any game that maybe he’s not done to his standard or had a drop here, been a frustrating game, the way he’s responded has been unquestionable. Early in this year, the same way right, from the first time we played them to his next game. I don’t expect this to be any different.”

Will Tyler Guyton play in Week 13?
Dallas’ young left tackle suffered an ankle sprain in the win over the Eagles, and right now, is reportedly trending towards not playing on Thanksgiving, leaving Nate Thomas to take over as Dak’s blindside protector.
Several Cowboys’ beat reporters saw Guyton in a moon boot in the locker room on Tuesday, so if we needed any more confirmation that Tyler wasn’t going to suit up, then that probably confirms it.
There are still a couple of days left before Dallas welcomes Kansas City, and given the quick turnaround for the Cowboys, Guyton will be facing an uphill battle to suit up, so Thomas is looming as one to step in and handle the left side of the line alongside Tyler Smith.
