It&#8217;s also telling that, for as big as the game wound up being for Lamb, he was mostly without a smile in the locker room \u2014 focused and locked in on what he has to do in his next rep, in the next game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Super, super proud of him,&#8221; he said of Lamb. &#8220;[I&#8217;ve been] watching that guy since the time he was drafted and watching everything that he puts into this game: his demeanor, his spirit, his mentality, every game, going back to the off season and every game this season. He&#8217;s been on it. And that&#8217;s just who he is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a testament to me not even realizing he had 17 catches. I&#8217;m the one throwing it. How do I not realize that? But that&#8217;s that&#8217;s that&#8217;s a guy just getting open, helping this team, doing whatever he can to help us. \u2026 He&#8217;s an impressive player. \u2029We&#8217;re blessed to have him, and super, super thankful to have him. I&#8217;m glad he had a hell of a day like this, in his hometown, and I know it felt good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What has to also feel good is, as noted, the Cowboys won&#8217;t have to deal with it being a bittersweet individual victory for Lamb, because they also got the team win to make sure his efforts weren&#8217;t for naught.<\/p>\n<p>And as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get ready to head to AT&amp;T Stadium for Thursday Night Football, suddenly those very same detractors and doubters of Lamb are sitting on the edge of their seat wondering what he might do next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Honestly, bro, I wasn&#8217;t even thinking about any of that throughout the game,&#8221; he said of his hot&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[6348,155174,56,58,57,1090,6349],"class_list":["post-456699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-ceedee-lamb","tag-featured-dalvshou-2026","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-news-all-news","tag-news-patrik-walker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
