CeeDee Lamb and the Dallas Cowboys are in a poor season. They entered Week 13 with a 4-7 record, and with the Washington Commanders holding a 7-5 record in the seventh seed, this is going to be an incredibly difficult year to make a late run and advance to the playoffs.
The challenge against the New York Giants would be something of the last hurrah for the team. Quarterback Cooper Rush is filling in for Dak Prescott to end the season, and although they won the game, it wasn't Lamb his favorite target during the game.
CeeDee Lamb stats vs Giants

This was far from his best game. Lamb caught just 33.3% of his targets during the game, with three drops in the first half alone. The situation became even worse in the second half, as he left the game with a right AC joint.
It was his fifth straight game where he did not cross the 100-yard mark. Since Dak Prescott hurt his hamstring and was lost for the season, the superstar wide receiver hasn't been able to replicate the same level of performance. Rush's inability to throw the ball downfield is limiting Lamb's ability to win vertically.
The only time he surpassed the 100-yard mark in 2024 happened in Week 8 when he had 13 catches, 146 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants allowed 98 yards and a touchdown to him in Week 4, when these two teams met for the first time this season.
Two wide receivers performed better than CeeDee Lamb on this occasion: KaVontae Turpin had four receptions for 53 yards, while Jalen Tolbert had 41 yards in two catches. Brandin Cooks, on the other hand, had just 16 yards in three catches during the game, but he was the only player to grab a touchdown for the Cowboys.
Dallas won 27-20.
