Of all the punishment CeeDee Lamb absorbed one game into the Dallas Cowboys season, the most significant hit may have been delivered from inside the ownership suite. Twice, no less.
Just days after director of player personnel Stephen Jones made a pointed remark about Lamb’s performance in the team’s 19-3 season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, owner Jerry Jones doubled down on the criticism. The message? Dallas needs Lamb to live up to his ownership-hyped expectations, which framed him as a true No. 1 receiver after the Cowboys pulled the plug on Amari Cooper in the offseason.
