3. CeeDee Lamb goes for 150 yards

Michael Gallup was the player Andy Dalton targeted with the game on the line and No. 13 delivered in a big way. Before those two passes, Dalton had gone after Amari Cooper who had a big first down conversion. With the game on the line, he went after the more experienced players and they made New York pay.

Before that drive though, the Giants were doing well to keep Cooper and Gallup from killing them. But they did so at a cost. Focusing their attention on those two gave rookie CeeDee Lamb a lot of room to operate as he torched his one-on-one coverage to the tune of 124 yards on eight receptions.

For Lamb, it was his career-best and second game of his first-season with triple digits — the other coming in Week 2 when he had 106 yards against Atlanta. In all, Lamb now has 29 receptions for 433 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers are good enough to put him first on the team in yards, second in receptions, and tied for first in touchdowns.

In Week 6, look for more of the same from Lamb as Arizona continues to focus on the known-commodities of Cooper and Gallup which allows Lamb to have a new career-high of at least 150 yards.
