Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb admitted he “failed” during Sunday’s defeat to the Baltimore Ravens but played down talk of a rift with quarterback Dak Prescott.
Lamb caught just four passes for 67 yards, dropped another and had a fumble in a poor individual display which contributed to the Cowboys slipping to 1-2 for the season.
The 25-year-old vowed to do better, starting on Thursday when Dallas visit the New York Giants.
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.
“And, yeah, I kind of let the game get to my head a little bit. But in the same sense, I know what I can do. I know what I bring to the table, and I know what I can do on that field. So, with that being said, going forward, there shall be a difference.”

Lamb, who signed a new, four-year deal with Dallas in August worth a reported $136million, was also involved in a touchline spat with Prescott in the Ravens game but he insisted their relationship was unharmed.
“Our relationship, if anything, [has] gotten stronger,” Lamb said.
“Don’t let 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 I look at him as a brother.
“So, with that being said, everything is going to come out: the energy, the passion, the love, the fight. You going to make up in the end.”
