CeeDee Lamb took responsibility for his part in the Dallas Cowboys’ 28-25 Sunday loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

As ESPN’s Todd Archer noted, the wide receiver “looked to be a sideline spat with quarterback Dak Prescott” during the game that also saw him lose a fumble and drop a pass. Lamb said Tuesday his attitude didn’t “help the situation or the outcome of the game” while apologizing for his performance.

“Just being a professional about this whole situation. Understanding it’s a long game,” he said. “But as for me and my performance, I expect a lot out of myself, more than anyone could put on me. And, quite honestly, I failed myself. And obviously, I failed the team just as far as producing and being that game-breaker player for the team and, obviously, the guy that they can lean on.

“And, yeah, I kind of let the game get to my head a little bit. But in the same sense, I know what I can do. I know what I bring to the table, and I know what I can do on that field. So, with that being said, going forward, there shall be a difference.”

The relationship between Prescott and Lamb is going to be a focal point beyond just the last game, as they each signed long-term extensions with the Cowboys this offseason.

They are the present and future faces of the franchise and will be counted on to break a championship drought that dates back to the 1995 campaign.

“Our relationship, if anything, [has] gotten stronger,” Lamb said. “Don’t let what’s out there fool you. We’re brothers to the end. We know that we all we got, and I tip my hat off to him. I got the utmost respect for him, and I look at him as a brother. So, with that being said, everything is going to come out: the energy, the passion, the love, the fight. You going to make up in the end.”

It might be a blessing for the Cowboys that they don’t have much time to dwell on two straight losses because their Week 4 game is Thursday against the New York Giants.

And if anyone is going to bounce back, it will be Lamb.

After all, he is one of the best offensive players in football and just posted a league-best 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. It was his third straight campaign with more than 1,100 receiving yards, and there is no reason to think this year will be any different.

He also tallied a combined 15 catches for 228 yards and one touchdown in the two matchups against the Giants last season and will have an opportunity to put the Ravens loss behind him against a familiar opponent.

If he and the Cowboys do just that, they will be back on track before a daunting stretch of six straight games against potential playoff contenders in the Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans.
