CeeDee Lamb made a significant impact but also committed a penalty during the Dallas Cowboys’ preseason opener. In the second quarter against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium, Lamb, who was on the sidelines in street clothes, got too close to the field and inadvertently ran into a Rams player from behind. This resulted in a 15-yard penalty against Dallas. Despite the collision, Lamb got up unscathed and laughed off the incident. The penalty came just after a 51-yard gain by Dallas, which had been reduced due to a pass interference call on Rams defender Buckshawn Jolie. Notably, stars such as Lamb, Dak Prescott, and George Pickens were not participating in the preseason opener. This report is courtesy of the Associated Press.
Fan Take: This incident sheds light on the fine line players and staff must maintain during games to avoid costly penalties. For NFL fans, it underscores how even small mistakes in preseason can influence team momentum and serve as valuable lessons ahead of the regular season.
