Had the Cowboys made a few other plays, they would\u2019ve been in a much different position to win the game. Primarily, CeeDee Lamb\u2019s drops were the biggest problem.<\/p>\n<p>While Lamb dropped multiple passes, it\u2019s still fair to note that he finished with seven receptions for 110 yards, good for 15.7 yards per catch.<\/p>\n<p>The most important part, however, is the fact that Lamb decided to take accountability for his drops. He understands that if the Cowboys want to be the team they\u2019re looking to be moving forward, he has to be someone who makes every play for this organization. Stephen Jones, the co-owner of the Cowboys, said he was very happy to hear what he had to say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI expect nothing less from CeeDee\u2026\u201d Jones said , per the team. \u201cI know one thing. He\u2019s going to make a whole lot more plays to win us games than he doesn\u2019t. I have 100% confidence in what he stands for, doesn\u2019t surprise me a bit that he was back on his day off on a jugs machine. He\u2019s driven to be great, and that\u2019s why we love to have CeeDee on our football team.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>CeeDee Lamb Gets Honest About Week 1 Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Regarding Lamb\u2019s comments after the Dallas Cowboys lost, he admitted that he was \u201cterrible.\u201d He said that he can\u2019t point fingers at anyone else and has to take full accountability for the situation and only try to improve for the Cowboys so they can win games every week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMan, that was terrible,\u201d Lamb said following the 24-20 loss, via the team\u2019s official website. \u201cI can\u2019t point fingers at anybody else. I take full accountability and everything else that comes with that. As a player, I\u2019ve prayed for moments like that, and for the ball to come my way. To not come up with it, it stings a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Cowboys Expect CeeDee Lamb to Bounce Back<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whenever a player on the Dallas Cowboys doesn\u2019t make plays that fans expect them to, it\u2019ll be talked about for a few days.<\/p>\n<p>If Lamb returns for the Cowboys and has a big game against the New York Giants in the Cowboys\u2019 next game on Sunday, everybody will forget about it. However, that hasn\u2019t stopped many others from speaking about it, including head coach Brian Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry about CeeDee Lamb,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cCeeDee\u2019s going to be fine. What a great player. This was a team defeat, and we own that. We understand where we can go as a football team. We understand. I love the competition. I thought guys competed their butts off. I thought that was great, but we\u2019re all about winning, and we didn\u2019t win tonight, and therefore it\u2019s not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While it was a frustrating night for Lamb in total because of his drops, it\u2019ll be good to see him bounce back. If there\u2019s one player that the Cowboys can count on to make plays when it matters most, it\u2019s their star wide receiver, who many consider to be one of the top in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
