Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb<\/p>\n

Considering the way his year has gone, starting with the hefty fines he racked up as he held out for a new contract from the\u00a0C<\/a>owboys\u00a0all through training camp and the preseason,\u00a0CeeDee Lamb\u00a0has probably had quite enough of being punished.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But the\u00a0NFL\u00a0had a second look at a play in which Lamb was involved going back to the Week 3 loss to\u00a0Baltimore. With eight seconds to play in the first quarter and Dallas driving, Lamb took a pass from\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0on a slant to the right side and caught it at about the 18-yard line of the Ravens. He ran forward to the 10-yard line as time ran down.<\/p>\n

At the 10, he was met by safety Kyle Hamilton. But as Lamb approached Hamilton, he committed an NFL no-no: He lowered his helmet.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Now, a week later, the NFL has doled out punishment for the play, giving Lamb a sizable fine of $22,511, though no penalty was whistled at the time. NFL Media\u2019s Tom Pelissero reported the infraction,\u00a0writing on Twitter\/X: \u201cAnother one: The NFL fined\u00a0#Cowboys\u00a0WR CeeDee Lamb $22,511 for unnecessary roughness\/use of helmet on this play. No flag was thrown.\u201d<\/p>\n

CeeDee Lamb Fine Labeled a \u2018Joke\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reaction to the fine from Lamb drew a fairly unanimous response\u2014what else, exactly, was the Cowboys star supposed to do?<\/p>\n

User Chris Phineas wrote, \u201cJoke. Player has a right to protect himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Another user,\u00a0Calvin Thomas, wrote, \u201cGeez we might as well play flag football.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Jahmeir D. wrote, \u201cOnly in the NFL can you get fined for protecting yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dallas Morning News\u00a0quoted the NFL rulebook\u00a0in writing about the fine: \u201cIt is a foul if a player: lowers his head and makes forcible contact with his helmet against an opponent; or uses any part of his helmet or facemask to butt or make forcible contact to an opponent\u2019s head or neck.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fine for Lamb\u2019s penalty, technically called, \u201cImpermissible Use of the Helmet\/Launching,\u201d is the result of collective bargaining with the union. He\u2019ll need to be careful going forward\u2014the find for a second such offense is $45,020.<\/p>\n

Cowboys Got Apology After Ravens Loss<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That caps off a wild few days for Lamb, who was clearly not happy during the loss to the Ravens. After he made the play that got the Cowboys to the 10-yard line, he fumbled a pass from Prescott that cost Dallas a scoring try that might have changed the whole complexion of the game.<\/p>\n

Lamb pulled in just four catches for 67 yards against the Ravens, and cameras caught him several times expressing clear frustration, and directing harsh words toward Prescott. He apologized.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I kind of let the game get to my head a little bit,\u201d\u00a0Lamb said later.\u00a0\u201cBut 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lamb responded with his best game of the year in the Cowboys\u2019 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday, racking up seven catches for 98 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
