He had attended a game at the home of the Texans, but he had never played there until Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys receiver went off against his hometown team, catching 17 passes for 189 yards, including the game-winning, 12-yard touchdown with 40 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Lamb called it \u201ceverything\u201d to do what he did in Houston.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandma came out. <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/50104876\/ceedee-lamb-17-catches-go-ahead-score-power-cowboys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">That was really good to see<\/a>,\u201d Lamb said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. \u201cShe didn\u2019t really come to many of my games and really do all the hoorah and screaming. So it was good to see my family here. It\u2019s been a long road to end up in this situation, and I\u2019m grateful for it. And just coming back and seeing a lot of things that I\u2019m familiar with growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jason Witten is the only player in team history with more catches in game, having caught 18 in a game against the Giants in 2012. Lamb wasn\u2019t even in high school then.<\/p>\n<p>Lamb\u2019s 17 catches were the most by any NFL player since Keenan Allen had 18 in Week 3 of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>He had never had more than 13 receptions in a game until Sunday, and his 189 yards were the third-most of his career. <\/p>\n<p>Lamb passed Hall of Famer Drew Pearson in the team record book for fourth in career receiving yards with 7,914. He can move into third, passing Tony Hill, with 75 yards. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, I can\u2019t really fathom it, but I will say I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of emotions going through me right now. As far as preparing for the next game, that\u2019s how I motivate myself. What can I possibly do the next game to capitalize off this one? But a moment of gratitude. I\u2019m definitely happy to be in this position, and I\u2019m happy for the opportunity, and I\u2019m looking forward to breaking more records. That\u2019s nothing toward the guys ahead of me, but here I come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CeeDee Lamb grew up 24 miles from Reliant Stadium in Richmond, Texas.
