Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb gave the New England Patriots fits when Dallas traveled to Gillette Stadium and earned an overtime victory two seasons ago. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick recalled the nine-catch, two-touchdown performance rather well.
“Lamb is dynamic, great, great receiver, obviously we had problems with him two years ago,” Belichick told reporters before Wednesday’s practice, per a team-provided transcript.
The Patriots, however, have a strength of their own this time around. Lamb, who felt good about winning his matchups against J.C. Jackson and Jalen Mills two seasons ago, is likely to see snaps against rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez when New England travels to AT&T Stadium on Sunday.
