“I’m gonna watch it,” Lamb told reporters on Tuesday, via the team’s website, adding he’ll use it as “motivation.”
“Shoutout to them for that, because I’ve still got brothers over there. It’s not really anything personal, but it’s something that I’m chasing.”
The pressure on the Cowboys ramped up a bit after the team traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for Kenny Clark and a few draft picks.

Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer will have a lot to handle in terms of expectations and trying to guide the team back to their winning ways.
“I stared right down the barrel of the gun and said, ‘Hey, I want to win a Super Bowl,’” Schottenheimer said last week after the Parsons deal. “That doesn’t change. We get excited about the pieces that we’re adding. I don’t sit around and think about, ‘Man, this is my first year as the head coach.’ This is part of the business. I’m comfortable with that.”
Lamb has been a focal part of the offense in years past and will remain on that pedestal this season.
