He grew up in a New York sports-heavy region in Connecticut and earned his journalism degree at the University of Rhode Island. His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Dallas Cowboys</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Players craft their legacies and earn their paychecks based on how they perform during the big moments, but respect can be truly forged by how they carry themselves in the seemingly insignificant ones. Just hours after the Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from playoff contention, a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-ceedee-lamb-shares-eye-opening-admission-amid-career-worst-stat">banged-up CeeDee Lamb</a> embodied remarkable persistence and leadership.</p><p>The star wide receiver pushed through his lingering shoulder injury and continued to take the field with his teammates, finishing with seven receptions for 105 yards in Sunday’s riveting <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-wild-ending-vs-buccaneers-sparks-wild-reactions">26-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>. Lamb inflicted nearly all of his damage in the first half, but <a href="https://x.com/jonmachota/status/1871065608072167558" rel="noopener">his insistence to gut out</a> the obvious pain will make fans even prouder to wear his No. 88 jersey.</p><p>“My shoulder is outta whack, I’m not gonna even lie to you,” the 2023 All-Pro told the media, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. “I’m just out there battling and doing what I do. It’s not fun… I love this game that much. I’m literally willing to put my body out there on the line for my guys.”</p><h2><b>CeeDee Lamb believes his dedication should be unquestioned</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Cowboys-WR-CeeDee-Lamb-works-his-way-down-the-field.jpg"><figcaption>Tim Heitman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>A wide receiver’s innate and intense desire to have the ball in his hands has led to the term “diva” being frequently used to describe the position. Lamb’s own heated sideline exchanges have convinced many people that he is deserving of that label, but through his fierce commitment to the 7-8 Cowboys, the 25-year-old is showing the public what genuinely fuels him on the gridiron.</p><p>Although he values the green like everyone else, his competitive fire burned blindingly bright in AT&amp;T Stadium in Week 16.</p><p>“I feel like now I’ve kinda went way past the narrative of the money situation,” CeeDee Lamb said, referencing the perception many had of him during his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-emmitt-smith-unacceptable-ceedee-lamb-contract-strategy">lengthy contract holdout</a>. “I do it for the money, of course, but it’s way more than that. … I’m living my dream. For anyone that’s thinking that I’m (only) playing for the money is kind of insane.”</p><h2><b>Cowboys are showing their passion</b></h2><p>The No. 17 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft will now force fans to think twice when doubting his devotion to the Dallas locker room. He has cleared the obligatory top receiver benchmarks, accruing 101 catches and 1,194 yards in 15 games, but his tenacity is making just as loud of a statement.</p><p>The Cowboys are in a tough spot entering the offseason, as they fall alarmingly far from the NFL’s upper echelon. Though, on the heels of a hard-fought victory against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers, this franchise is arguably exhibiting the very traits it has been accused of lacking in recent years. In a twist of irony, is it possible that America’s Team is actually turning a corner when the stakes are at their lowest?</p><p>Fans do not care how a breakthrough happens. They will celebrate this supposedly “meaningless” outcome if the Cowboys evolve next season. And they will extol Lamb as a catalyst of change.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both teams are on track to enter the game at near full strength, with CeeDee Lamb, Ja’Marr Chase and Jake Ferguson all cleared to play.</p><p>The Cowboys <a href="https://www.nfl.com/injuries/" rel="noopener">removed both</a> Ferguson and Lamb from their weekly injury report on Saturday. Their presence in the lineup puts quarterback Cooper Rush on track to play with his full arsenal of weapons for the first time since Week 12. Dallas still lists left tackle Tyler Guyton as questionable and has already ruled guard Zack Martin out for the game.</p><p>While Ferguson sat out Week 13 with a concussion, Lamb has yet to miss a game in 2024 despite being a mainstay on the team’s injury report. The star slot receiver has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past few weeks but has played in over 80 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in all but four games.</p><p>Ferguson returning to the lineup immediately lifts the passing game by giving Rush his top two options back. In Ferguson’s absence, second-year reserve Luke Schoonmaker has filled in admirably, recording five catches against the New York Giants in Week 13.</p><h2><b>Cowboys look to continue momentum in Week 14</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/CeeDee-Lamb.jpg"><figcaption>Robert Deutsch-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 2024 campaign has been nothing short of a disappointment for the Cowboys but entering Week 14, Dallas will look to build on their mini two-game win streak. The team’s second win of the year over the Giants on Thanksgiving moved them to 5-7 on the year.</p><p>On paper, the Bengals are a step behind the Cowboys at 4-8 and bring a three-game losing streak into the matchup. However, Dallas has not won more than two consecutive games in 2024. Two of the Cowboys’ five wins are also over the league-worst Giants, undeniably inflating their record.</p><p>Week 14 will be the fifth straight start for Rush since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-dallas-officially-places-dak-prescott-ir-season-ending-injury">Dak Prescott went down with a hamstring injury</a> in Week 9. Rush has gone 2-2 thus far, beating the Giants and Washington Commanders but losing his first two starts against the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans.</p><p>Despite their similar records, the Bengals have undeniably faced a tougher schedule through 12 games. Cincinnati owns losses to the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Chargers and Eagles, all of whom are among the best teams in the league.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-mike-mccarthy-brutally-honest-first-home-win-334-days">Cowboys got their first home win of the season</a> last Thursday – it was the team’s first victory in Dallas since Week 17 of 2023. Unfortunately, shortly after the game, it was announced that the Cowboys lost Zack Martin to a season-ending ankle injury.</p><p>The 11th-year veteran will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-lose-zack-martin-to-season-ending-ankle-injury">undergo surgery on his right ankle</a> and miss the remainder of the season. With Martin set to hit free agency in 2025, his legendary Cowboys career could be over. The gravity of the situation was not lost on teammate CeeDee Lamb, who <a href="https://x.com/JonahJavad/status/1864778263676989542" rel="noopener">expressed his love</a> for Martin.</p><p>“As far as leading and teaching me how to lead and [teaching] me how to be a pro, I appreciate him for that. Just being a brother for me. That’s my guy,” Lamb said per Jonah Javad on X. “If it’s the end, I appreciate it. If not, I love it,” he added.</p><p>The Cowboys selected Martin with the 16th overall pick in the 2014 draft out of Notre Dame. He became the team’s starting right guard in his first season, making the Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro as a rookie.</p><h2><b>CeeDee Lamb shows appreciation for Cowboys’ legend Zack Martin</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Martin-and-Lamb.jpg"><figcaption>Matthew Emmons-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The veteran lineman reached the Pro Bowl nine times in his career and has been a first-team All-Pro seven times in 11 seasons. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-zack-martin-tyler-smith-go-down-with-injuries-vs-texans">Martin injured his ankle against the Houston Texans</a> in Week 11 and has been sidelined by the ailment since. On Thursday, Martin decided to undergo surgery to repair his damaged ankle.</p><p>The 34-year-old lineman entered the 2024 campaign <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-zack-martin-gets-real-on-retirement-with-11th-season-looming">with retirement on his mind</a>. Now, with his season cut short by injury, there’s a very real chance that Cowboys fans have seen the last of Martin. Even Dallas head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-mike-mccarthy-gets-real-potential-zack-martin-retirement-injury-update">Mike McCarthy acknowledged that Martin’s career could be over</a>.</p><p>If he does retire, Martin will go down as one of the most decorated Cowboys players in franchise history. And clearly, he’s had a meaningful impact on his teammates, as evidenced by Lamb’s testimonial.</p><p>Despite playing in all 12 games this season, it’s been a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ceedee-lamb-painfully-honest-2024-admission">grueling year for Lamb</a>. The wideout <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ceedee-lamb-injury-update-drop-giants-game">dropped multiple passes before injuring his shoulder</a> in Week 13’s win over the Giants. Still, the fifth-year pro has 79 receptions for 880 yards and four touchdowns on the year, putting him on pace for a fourth straight 1,000-yard season.</p><p>The Cowboys take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. Dallas looks to win its second home game and improve to 6-7.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-most-blame-week-12-loss-cowboys">bonkers win over the Commanders last week</a>, they won their first home game of the season against the Giants on Thanksgiving. Cooper Rush continues to grow, Rico Dowdle was a star, and their defense dominated Drew Lock. The only negative was CeeDee Lamb, who had a few big drops and left the game with a shoulder injury. ESPN’s Todd Archer <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42670781/cowboys-beat-giants-first-home-win-nearly-year" rel="noopener">reported on the</a> injury after the game.</p><p>“Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb did not return after aggravating a right shoulder injury in the third quarter,” Archer reported. “He dropped three passes in the game after dropping just four in the first 11 games of the season. Lamb suffered a sprained AC joint in the Nov. 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons but has not missed a game despite saying Tuesday this is the most beaten up physically he has been in his career.”</p><p>The Cowboys now have a mini-bye before their next game against the Bengals. Head coach Mike McCarthy hopes Lamb will be good to go next Monday. “The rest might be the most important part of the schedule,” McCarthy said. “If you just look at what we’ve been dealing with, rest and recovery will really help us.”</p><h2><b>The Cowboys need CeeDee Lamb to continue their hot stretch </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Ceedee-Lamb-with-Dallas-Cowboys-1.jpg"><figcaption>Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Cowboys have won two consecutive games and kept their season loosely alive heading into December. At 5-7, they have very little chance of making the postseason. But with a rejuvenated offense and an easy schedule, they could make a run. To do so, they need CeeDee Lamb to be himself.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-cowboys-ceedee-lamb-feeling-good-despite-shoulder-injury">Lamb’s AC joint injury</a> has hurt his production for the better part of a month. He has not had 100 receiving yards or scored a touchdown since Week 8. Some of that has come without Dak Prescott, which certainly hurts, but Cooper Rush has been serviceable the past two weeks.</p><p>With an extra day before Monday’s game against the Bengals, CeeDee Lamb should be healthier at the very least. The Cowboys must win that game to be a loose part of the NFC playoff conversation. Because of the greatness of the NFC North, there is really one Wild Card spot for grabs in the conference.</p><p>The Cowboys are likely out of contention for that spot but if Cooper Rush continues to play well, anything can happen. He needs to create some chemistry with CeeDee Lamb for there to even be a chance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
