Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is facing heavy criticism after two key mistakes in the team's season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles—errors many fans believe may have cost Dallas the game.
Lamb dropped two critical passes during the matchup, including a wide-open opportunity late in the fourth quarter. With just over two minutes remaining and the Cowboys trailing by four, quarterback Dak Prescott targeted Lamb down the middle on a perfectly placed deep throw.
Lamb extended his arms, seemingly in position to make the catch, but the ball slipped through his hands. The ball was nearly intercepted but ended up falling to the ground.
