The team has been plagued with injuries, including losing their star quarterback,\u00a0Dak Prescott, to a season-ending injury and various other injuries sprinkled throughout the squad.<\/p>\n<p>While the Cowboys have enjoyed some success this season, including a 2-2 showing from backup quarterback\u00a0Cooper Rush, their hopes to make the playoffs pretty much evaporated on Sunday, with a\u00a027-20 loss\u00a0to the Bengals.<\/p>\n<p>Following the game, wide receiver\u00a0CeeDee Lamb\u00a0has dropped some truth bombs about the frustrations that came with losing that important game. Lamb, as always, had a stellar showing on Sunday,\u00a0notching 93 yards and a touchdown on six catches, all while dealing with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb Gets Real About Losses<\/h2>\n<p>Following the Bengals loss, Lamb was asked to talk about the frustrations in the locker room and how the guys felt after the big loss.<\/p>\n<p>Lamb summed the emotions up\u00a0with a very honest and painful statement: \u201cIt sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cObviously, we needed that win, and we didn\u2019t get it. So, as for everybody in the locker room, I mean, obviously that one hit us, and I ain\u2019t really got too much to say on it, but yeah, it sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if that loss hurt more than the other Cowboys losses this season, Lamb said, \u201cThey all hurt just the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, they add up, and then this is what you get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were some bright spots, though. Lamb praised the defense and said \u201cthey did a great job, obviously, just stopping them, giving us an opportunity to take over the game and giving us plenty of opportunities. Obviously, some of them we didn\u2019t maximize and fulfill, but, I feel like going into halftime, we kind of dried up on the offensive side, and then coming out, we were still short.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CeeDee Lamb: Postgame Week 14 #CINvsDAL | Dallas Cowboys 2024\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/__ikuM7DFOg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Cowboys\u2019 CeeDee Lamb on His Shoulder Injury<\/h2>\n<p>Lamb has been nursing a shoulder injury, and he opened up about it during a press conference on December 5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a pleasant feeling, obviously for everyone that\u2019s experienced an AC [joint] sprain,\u201d he said,\u00a0via CBS Sports. \u201cThey understand what I\u2019m going through.\u201d But, Lamb was positive, stating, \u201cIt\u2019s fine. You got to take it day to day. You have to stay on it. You have to keep recovering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that while playing with the injury is \u201ctricky,\u201d it\u2019s not anything he hasn\u2019t experienced before. \u201cIt starts off as a mental thing before it becomes an unfathomable pain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Lamb also had an AC joint sprain in his shoulder as a\u00a0freshman at Oklahoma in 2017. So, he\u2019s learned how to deal with it, and it\u2019s possible that history of dealing with this particular injury is helping him the second time around.<\/p>\n<p>The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up to take on the\u00a0Carolina Panthers\u00a0on Sunday, December 15. It\u2019s actually the\u00a0first game the Panthers have been favored to win in two years, but don\u2019t count the Cowboys out just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is getting honest ahead of the team&#8217;s game against the Carolina Panthers.
