Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb became the first player in NFL history to record double-digit catches for at least 150 receiving yards in three consecutive games. He had 11 receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, following 11 receptions for 191 yards against the Eagles last week and 12 catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns two weeks ago against the Rams.
“Absolutely,” Lamb said when asked if he was in a zone, “and it doesn’t stop.”
Lamb now has 68 receptions for 997 yards and four receiving touchdowns this season, with four consecutive 100-yard games. He joined Michael Irvin and Terrell Owens as the only players in team history to achieve this feat.
Only five other receivers in NFL history have three consecutive 150-yard games.
“I’m the top receiver in this game, and there’s no question about that,” said Lamb, who also scored a rushing touchdown. “If so, I’ll see you all again next week.”
Lamb managed just 27 receptions for 358 yards and one touchdown in the first five games, prompting him to publicly call for more opportunities. He has 41 receptions for 639 yards and three touchdowns in the last four games.
“They’re definitely trying to one-up me, but Mike [McCarthy] does a great job of moving me, keeping me moving and facing out so the defense doesn’t really falter,” Lamb said.
The Cowboys travel to Carolina to play the Panthers on Sunday, so Lamb should have a good chance to continue his winning streak.
