CeeDee Lamb breaks silence on sideline spat with Dak Prescott after Cowboys WR's meltdown goes viral
The Dallas Cowboys succumbed to a second straight loss at home as Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens rolled into AT&T Stadium and left with a 28-25 win, their first of the season.
CeeDee Lamb, who finished the game with four catches for 67 yards, couldn't hide his frustration and even yelled at Dak Prescott in a show of disdain on the sideline.
The wide receiver's screaming at the quarterback prompted speculation about whether trouble was brewing in their relationship. However, Lamb shot down those reports during his media availability on Tuesday. When asked about the heated moment on the sideline, he told WFAA's Mike Leslie:
"Our relationship has, if anything gotten stronger. Don't let what, what's out there fool you. We're brothers to the end. We know that we all we got, and I tip my hat off to him. I got the utmost respect for him, and that's I look at him as a brother."
He added that he was comfortable enough with the quarterback to not mince words or hide his emotions. He added:
"Everything is gonna come out [during the game]. The energy, the passion, the love, the fight - and then we'll make up in the end... No craziness now."

Lamb also admitted that his underwhelming performances so far by his lofty standards played a role in his outburst on the sidelines during the Cowboys' loss to the Ravens. He told reporters:
"I expect a lot out of myself - more than anyone could put on me. And, quite honestly, I failed myself. And obviously, I failed the team just as far as producing and being that game breaker player for the team and obviously the guy that they can lean on."
Lamb has only 13 catches for 218 yards and one touchdown through three games, which is a good return, but not for one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. The 25-year-old star admitted he let the emotions get the better of him against the Ravens and claimed he had no one to blame but himself for his performance.
He's backing himself a strong bounce-back game against divisional rivals New York Giants on Thursday night and help the Cowboys get back to .500 for the year and ease the pressure off Prescott, head coach Mike McCarthy, and the rest of the team.
