Dallas Cowboys' wide receiver CeeDee Lamb showcased his dominance against the New York Giants, amassing 151 yards, a touchdown, and a rushing score in a resounding 49-17 victory.

Lamb, who boldly claimed, "I'm the top receiver in this game," backed up his words with a third consecutive game of 10-plus catches and 150-plus receiving yards, a feat unseen since at least 1970, according to NFL Research.

Lamb's exceptional form extends beyond Sunday, leading the NFL with 617 receiving yards since Week 6, despite a bye week for the Cowboys in that span.

Head coach Mike McCarthy's strategic moves to counter double coverage have contributed to Lamb's success, turning the competition into a strategic battle between McCarthy and opposing defensive coordinators.

Notably, Lamb's 617 receiving yards in a four-game stretch are a franchise record since at least 1970, surpassing the legendary Terrell Owens. The young standout has also joined the elite company of Michael Irvin, accumulating 975 yards in the first nine games of the season, echoing Irvin's feat from 1995.

While Lamb's individual brilliance is undeniable, the Cowboys' offensive potential was further emphasized by Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup's contributions in Week 10. Cooks erupted for 173 yards and a touchdown, while Gallup added 70 yards and a score, highlighting the depth of Dallas's receiving corps.

Looking ahead, the Cowboys aim to maintain their offensive prowess throughout the season, recognizing the challenge of facing formidable opponents to secure a favorable position in the 2024 NFL Draft. As Lamb continues to shine, the trio of receivers, coupled with Dak Prescott's stellar performance, positions the Cowboys as a force to be reckoned with in the league.

Trump Praises Caitlin Clark, Talks Pay In Women’s Sports

Photo: Donald Trump, Caitlin Clark/Instagram   Former President Donald Trump recently praised WNBA star Caitlin Clark and discussed pay equity in women’s sports during an interview on the "Let’s Go!" podcast with sportscaster Jim Gray and legendary coach Bill Belichick . Trump called Clark "incredible," saying he was impressed by her shooting skills. "She’s unbelievable," he said. "I watch her shot go in, and it’s amazing."

Kamala Harris Concedes Election To Trump, But Promises To Keep Fighting

Image
Photo: Kamala Harris/Instagram   Kamala Harris has officially conceded the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump . Despite her loss, Harris vows to continue fighting for the issues she believes in. Harris’s campaign had high hopes, especially among women who were expected to be her strongest supporters. But a moment on ABC’s "The View" seemed to capture the problem she faced throughout her campaign. When asked if she would have done anything differently from President Biden, Harris said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” This response made some voters wonder if she could bring real change. This hesitation to separate herself from Biden’s policies may have hurt her. Some of her supporters wanted her to distance herself from him on key issues like the economy and U.S. relations with Israel. Harris’s team tried to walk a line between loyalty to Biden and her own message, but this balance was hard to achieve. Photo: Kamala Harris/Instagram A last-minute push by her
