Following a disappointing 34-10 home defeat to the Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb expressed his thoughts on the team's struggles. In a post-game interview, Lamb articulated his belief that rival teams may be attempting to make an example of the Cowboys. "Obviously everybody is looking to embarrass us," stated Lamb, highlighting the challenging season Dallas has faced.
The Cowboys entered Monday night's game with a troubling 3-6 record and were operating without their star quarterback, Dak Prescott, who is sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury. Despite being within seven points of the Texans at halftime, Dallas faltered in the second half, allowing Houston to outscore them 17-0. Earlier in the season, the Cowboys had suffered significant losses, including a 44-19 defeat to the New Orleans Saints and a 47-9 loss against the Detroit Lions. In their previous outing, Dallas was no match for the Philadelphia Eagles, falling 34-6 with Cooper Rush starting at quarterback.
The defeat to Houston marked the Cowboys' fifth consecutive loss at home this season, leaving them with an overall record of 3-7. To add insult to injury, the Texans' social media team capitalized on their victory, humorously referencing the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event held at AT&T Stadium over the weekend, as well as a prior incident involving a piece of the stadium roof. As the Cowboys continue to struggle, their playoff hopes appear slim, and they find themselves playing for pride, as Lamb noted, looking to avoid further embarrassment.
