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.
