**Dak Prescott Anticipates Big Performance from CeeDee Lamb on Thanksgiving**
As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for their Thanksgiving matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Dak Prescott is optimistic about a standout performance from wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Despite Lamb’s recent struggles, including three dropped passes in the Cowboys’ victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Prescott believes the star receiver is poised for a significant game.
Lamb, who is just 29 yards away from becoming the first Dallas receiver to reach 7,000 yards in his first six seasons, has faced challenges this season, including a career-high eight dropped passes. However, Prescott remains confident in Lamb’s ability to bounce back. “Huge game,” Prescott stated when discussing his expectations for Lamb. He emphasized that Lamb has consistently responded well after games that do not meet his high standards.
Historically, Lamb has shown resilience following tough outings. After a disappointing performance in the season opener against the Eagles, where he also dropped three passes, he rebounded with nine catches for 112 yards against the New York Giants the following week. Similarly, after recovering from a high ankle sprain, Lamb returned to the field in Week 7 and recorded five receptions for 110 yards in a decisive win over the Washington Commanders.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer echoed Prescott’s sentiments, highlighting Lamb’s ability to thrive under pressure. “He loves the bright lights,” Schottenheimer remarked, noting Lamb’s determination and focus. He hinted at a significant number of targets for Lamb in the upcoming game, suggesting that the receiver will play a crucial role in the Cowboys’ offensive strategy.
Entering the Thanksgiving game, Lamb has accumulated 44 receptions for 632 yards and two touchdowns this season. The highly anticipated matchup against the Chiefs is set to kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS, and fans are eager to see if Lamb can deliver the performance Prescott and his coaches expect.
