Cris Collinsworth Confused Fans With His Take on CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott After INT
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys were able to rally back and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 20-17, on Sunday night thanks to a clutch touchdown pass in the final minute. The win moves Dallas to 3-2 and drops the Steelers to 3-2.
Prescott threw for 352 yards and two touchdowns in the win, but also had two interceptions, including an ugly one that didn't come close to reach his intended target in CeeDee Lamb.
That play led to Cris Collinsworth, who was on the call for NBC, confusing fans with his take that Lamb was trying to say something to Prescott on the sideline after the play.
"I'll let you read your own lips," Collinsworth said to viewers. "At Dak. Dak doesn't react at all. Doesn't look good."
This didn't look horrible, plus it was really hard to figure out what Lamb was saying to his QB:

Tirico: Not a bit. Not a bit. pic.twitter.com/6kTAygmljS
Fans had trouble buying into what Collinsworth was selling:
Been trying to lipread for past 10 minutes. Annoyingly difficult! https://t.co/Cc27SpGp5E

Subpar throw? Is that what he said https://t.co/c94WznGmLk

Feels like a reach here. Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are communicating on the sideline often -- after good and bad. https://t.co/3U1vs1yNyN

This was bizarre. Why did Collinsworth and Tirico think it was so obvious what Lamb was saying? I’ve watched it 10 times and have no idea. https://t.co/FFufGwV3jN

I have zero idea what Cee Dee said. https://t.co/nc9pESAp7A
