'Be Immaculate!' Dallas Cowboys CeeDee Lamb Sets Goals In Schedule On Playoff Path
The Dallas Cowboys will begin their "gauntlet" of games as they face the Seattle Seahawks at AT&T Stadium in Week 13. After the Seahawks visit, the Cowboys will be a true evaluation of their surging NFC and Super Bowl credentials.
In December, the Cowboys face the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and the Detroit Lions.
For receiver CeeDee Lamb, the team has put itself in a good position by taking care of the teams considered "less than" and has rediscovered its explosiveness on offense and also stated that this is where the critical games in the season are won.
“We've put ourselves in a great position," Lamb said. "I mean to you know set ourselves apart offensively, obviously make more of an identity for ourselves, which is to take more shots, to be aggressive, the play style is immaculate and be physical and all that. But this are where the big games are won should I say so very excited for this.”
The Cowboys are hot on the heels of the Philadelphia Eagles, who are going through their own gauntlet of games and are 2-0 after taking care of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills.
But as always, the Cowboys must run their own race and focus on what they can control, and that starts with the Seahawks with 88 again looming large.
Lamb has been in a rich vein of form over the last six games, as he has either surpassed 100 receiving yards or scored a touchdown.
After the San Francisco 49ers loss, Lamb has been in another stratosphere with his play, as he had a three-game stretch of 10+ catches and 150+ receiving yards. He vaulted his receiving total of 1,000 yards with six games still to play in the season, something that Lamb didn't expect to happen so fast.

“I wouldn't say this fast, but I definitely had a goal for myself,” Lamb said. “Offensively, you know we hit a spurt, got going at the right time, and looking to continue it."
With Lamb's career-best numbers of last season looking like they will be surpassed, the Cowboys will need to lean on No. 88 during this "December run" as Dallas will face some tough competition.
December is indeed when the "big games" are won, and the Cowboys are currently 0-2 in "big games" this season (losing to the 49ers and Eagles). They will be looking to take down each challenge before them, beginning with Seattle.
