On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers squared off on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys would win 20-17, and there has been speculation that CeeDee Lamb was unhappy during the game.
At one point, cameras panned to the Cowboy’s sideline, where Lamb was seen saying something to quarterback Dak Prescott.
Many theories were posted on social media about the exact words, but the consensus was that none were friendly comments.
However, Lamb recently revealed what he had said when talking to reporters. “Jump balls, 4, Jump balls. I got you,” he said.

Of course, this flips the entire conversation about the comment because it wasn’t anything bad but rather encouraging.
By the end of the game, Lamb ended with five receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and zero touchdowns.
Prescott also expressed his opinion on social media users jumping to conclusions about the two’s interaction, saying that “it’s comical.”
Dak Prescott was asked about people making a lot over his sideline interaction with CeeDee Lamb.
His first reaction: “It’s comical.”

You have to give a hand to these two players for handling the drama around the clip so well, considering how much it had snowballed in such a short time.
CeeDee Lamb Comments On The Relationship Between Him And Dak Prescott
Sometimes, the drama in the NFL can seem like an even bigger deal than the football being played on the field.
However, Lamb has made it a point to keep things calm between him and his quarterback.
“Me and Dak are good, me and Dak are good,” Lamb told reporters. “We had how many incompletions? Two, three? Just getting on the same page, obviously, and we’ll be fine.”
Blocking out the noise will be key if the Cowboys want to make a run at the playoffs after a pretty average 3-2 start to the season.
