Lamb was heavily targeted (21 targets) and consistently made difficult catches in tight windows against Derek Stingley, demonstrating elite ball skills and quarterback chemistry with Dak Prescott. The source highlights three or four examples where Lamb came back to the ball aggressively and friendly to the quarterback, making catches in tight windows that required precise timing from Prescott. On the game-winning drive, Lamb made a comeback catch against Stingley one-on-one where the ball came out so early that if timing was off, the play would not have been completed.PositiveProjectionOct 5, 2026
