CeeDee Lamb joins Cowboys legend Michael Irvin in postseason history books
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb joined the postseason record books on Sunday versus the 49ers. His 10 catches mark the most by a Dallas receiver in a postseason game since Michael Irvin notched 12, also versus the 49ers, in the 1994 NFC Championship game.
Of Dak Prescott‘s first 29 pass attempts, Lamb received 13 targets. He is up to 117 yards as the Cowboys trail San Francisco 16-12 in the fourth quarter.
The former Oklahoma Sooners first-round pick had the snag of the day earlier in the game. He contorted his body for a 46-yard catch, which is the longest completion so far for either team.
In Monday’s win over Tampa Bay, Lamb had four catches on six targets for 68 yards and a score. He was Prescott’s favorite target all season long, logging 107 receptions on 156 targets for 1,359 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
Michael Irvin shares pep talks for Cowboys stars
Ahead of the divisional round showdown, Michael Irvin went on an unhinged rant on NFL Gameday, sharing his pep talk for top Cowboys starters.
To start his pep talks off, however, Irvin began yelling at a photo of himself on set.
“Boy, you always took care of your business,” Irvin shouted at himself. “I need these dudes to do what you did. Do what you did! You’re a bad boy!”
Michael Irvin kicked off his pep talks for the players with edge rusher Micah Parsons.
“This thing was you and Bosa going down to the wire for MVP of the defense, you got a one-on-one battle,” Irvin said to Parsons. “He’s the man right now. When you go into this game, make sure you’re the baddest defender on that field. You make sure that he cannot outplay you. He hits your quarterback once, you hit his quarterback twice.”
During his career with the Cowboys, Irvin posted 87 catches for 1,315 yards and eight touchdowns across 16 postseason games.
