Dallas Cowboys studs and duds: CeeDee Lamb leads the way in blowout
By Randy Gurzi
Dallas Cowboys Stud: CeeDee Lamb
On the Cowboys opening drive, their first pass went to CeeDee Lamb who took a screen pass and made several players miss as he ran down the sideline for 37-yards. He then caught a 13-yard pass to cap off the opening drive with a touchdown.
Lamb wasn’t done with the fireworks there either as he also hauled in a beautiful 21-yard catch from Dak Prescott as the Cowboys were going for it on fourth-and-five from the Atlanta 33.
Lamb finished the night with six receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns as he’s continued his breakout campaign.
Dallas Cowboys Stud: Dorance Armstrong
With Randy Gregory suffering an injury this week, the Dallas Cowboys entered this game with an incredibly thin group at defensive end. The most experienced player for them was Dorance Armstrong and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said before the game that he would be needed in a big way Sunday.
Armstrong got the message, and he delivered. He was causing issues all game and recorded his first sack of the season when he blew past Jalen Mayfield to blow up Matt Ryan. As if that wasn’t enough, he then blocked a punt with his team up 28-3 and Nahshon Wright ended up falling on the ball for a touchdown.
For Wright, this was also huge since he was the one who made the mistake of touching the ball past the line of scrimmage last week on a blocked punt which gave the Broncos another set of downs.
As long as Armstrong keeps delivering as he did Sunday, the Cowboys should be able to get through until DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory return to health.
