There was no denying that the Dallas Cowboys kicked off their season with a dominant victory over the Cleveland Browns. In nearly every phase of the game, Dallas outplayed Cleveland on the way to a 33-17 victory over the Browns. The Dallas Cowboys will host the 1-0 New Orleans Saints in week two.
Wide recevier CeeDee Lamb is ready.
Cowboys’ WR CeeDee Lamb Makes Massive Statement Ahead Of Week 2 Vs. Saints
Per Jon Machota of The Athletic:
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb:
“I’m back.” On his timing and rhythm with Dak Prescott: “There wasn’t much of a drop-off, but obviously there was room for improvement. We got better this week, and it should be on display this Sunday.”
Lamb and Prescott furthering their connection will only spell doom for defenses going forward.
According to PFF, Lamb played 30 snaps in the slot against the Browns, compared to 15 out wide. Perhaps it has something to do with Cleveland having two strong outside cornerbacks in Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome, but Lamb is the best slot receiver in the NFL.
In the absence of Lattimore, McCarthy might get even more creative with No. 88 this week. This scenario would require more from Kool-Aid Mckinstry and Payton Rice, both second-round rookies. Who wouldn’t want to match up their all-word receiver with a first-year player?
