FRISCO — CeeDee Lamb is confident he’ll bounce back with a better performance on Thanksgiving Day.
The Cowboys wide receiver dropped, unofficially, three passes in the victory over the Eagles. In two regular-season games against the NFC East rival, Lamb has dropped seven passes.
In the season-opener, he dropped four, and of course Sunday’s game with three, one occurring in the end zone.
On Tuesday, Lamb said he was disappointed in his performance but isn’t worried.

“You just find ways to get better,” he said. “You want to be solution-oriented and not really to dwell much on the problem. Granted, we know the problem, I need to catch the f—ing ball. Other than that, man, we’ll be fine. When I do catch it, be ready.”
In the season-opening loss to the Eagles, Lamb had seven catches for 110 yards, but some key drops hampered that performance.
The next week, he caught nine passes for 112 yards in a victory over the New York Giants.
In the second meeting with the Eagles, Lamb had four catches for 75 yards with no touchdowns. He was targeted 11 times in that game, marking the fifth time this season he’s reached double-digits in targets.
“I just gotta lock in on my fundamentals, man, it ain’t really too much going on as far as catching the ball,” Lamb said. “It’s not really anybody in my way. I’m the only one guarding myself, I feel like. We going to fix that.”
On Thanksgiving Day, the Cowboys face the Chiefs. Coach Brian Schottenheimer, who expressed confidence in Lamb’s abilities, noted, “he’s got that look in his eye.”
Schottenheimer even hinted that Lamb will be a highly-targeted receiver again.
“That’s on the Chiefs to stop it,” Lamb said. “To put myself (out there) to get the ball and do what I do with it. As far as Schotty calling my number, he knows I’m always out there. I’m always available for him and Dak [Prescott] and build that confidence. Let’s get to it.”
