Dak Prescott reveals the text message he sent CeeDee Lamb after his drop-filled Week 1 outing

Dak Prescott won’t let one game change how he feels about his All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Lamb caught seven passes for 110 yards in the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 1 loss to the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles. But the numbers don’t tell the whole story.

Lamb had three drops in the contest, including one that would have put the Cowboys deep in Eagles territory with a chance to win the game in the final minutes. The wasted opportunities weighed heavily on Lamb, who later apologized to his quarterback through text. Lamb messaged Prescott after the game to say that the drops “won’t happen again” and implored his QB to “keep trusting me.”

Prescott spoke to the media on Thursday ahead of his team’s Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. One reporter asked what the Cowboys QB replied to Lamb’s text messages.

“‘Yeah, I’m not going to stop throwing you the ball. That’s a game, bro,’” Prescott said was his reply to Lamb.

“Same thing I told y’all,” Prescott continued. It wasn’t the best day. It wasn’t the best day for CeeDee. It’s understandable. It happens. Hell, I’ve had them, right? We’ve all had them.

“‘Nobody, especially [you], I’m not going to lose confidence in. And so don’t worry, just keep approaching the way that you’re approaching, and you’re going to have a bounce back, and many of them.’”

Lamb is coming off a fourth-straight season with at least 1,000 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. He’s also just two years removed from his 1,749-yard, 12-touchdown campaign in 2023 that saw him earn first-team All-Pro honors for the first time in his career.

It’s a testament to Lamb’s talent that a 110-yard receiving game was considered subpar due to a couple of drops. As far as Prescott is concerned, one game won’t erase the body of work Lamb has put up to earn his trust.
