Not exactly a CeeDee of brotherly love…
Lamb joined Scott Van Pelt on ESPN’s SportsCenter after the game where he discussed his performance and, namely, how much he enjoys going off in front of Eagles fans.
“First of all, I hate Philly,” Lamb told Van Pelt as a swath of Cowboys fans still remaining at Lincoln Financial Field chanted “Eagles suck!” behind him. “Eagles suck, you heard the fans.”
If Lamb says he loves torching the Eagles, he’s got the stats to back it up. In 12 career starts against Philadelphia, he’s caught 66 passes for 933 yards and six touchdowns, and he added a rushing touchdown for good measure. If you just take the six games he’s played in Philly, he’s crossed the 100-yard mark twice, including a career performance in 2023 when he caught 11 balls for 191 at the Linc.
“I love playing here,” Lamb said Monday night. “Obviously I’m here once a year. It’s very routine. You always want to beat a brother. We see each other, we understand what they do and vice versa. It’s always a little tougher.”
The next time the Cowboys play the Eagles will be on Thanksgiving Day in Arlington. You can bet Lamb will have that date circled on his calendar.
