CeeDee Lamb is claiming Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith tried to choke him during their game last Sunday night. In a video posted by the Dallas Cowboys on YouTube, Lamb can be heard on the bench complaining to his teammates about Smith.

“Man was choking the [bleeped] out of me on the sideline,” Lamb told his teammates.

The video has been debated, as many theorize that Smith’s left hand was stuck on Lamb’s helmet. While it didn’t look pretty, the situation could’ve been completely inadvertent.

However, Lamb has the right to be unhappy with the play — especially in the moment. The Cowboys defeated the Vikings, but the officiating all night caused frustration for both teams.

Lamb had another great night — racking up six receptions for 112 yards on the night. He didn’t lose a step without Dak Prescott in the game, showing he can get his regardless of who’s playing quarterback.

Randy Moss gives hot take on the 2021 Dallas Cowboys

From one star wide receiver to an all-time great, Randy Moss is high on CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys. On ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, Moss made a huge proclamation regarding this season’s Dallas squad.

“I can honestly say, this is the best team that I’ve seen since the ‘90s from the Dallas Cowboys,” Moss said.

The Cowboys haven’t won the NFC East since 2018 and haven’t been to a Super Bowl since 1995. Back in the ’90s, the Boys, led by Jimmy Johnson then Barry Switzer, won the NFC East title six times.

The Cowboys have been unstoppable since starting the season with a two-point loss to the reigning Super Bowl champs Tampa Bay.

At 6-1, Dallas leads the NFC East. The Green Bay Packers lead in the NFC North at 7-1 after their Thursday night win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Tampa Bay Bucs are on top in the NFC South at 6-2 and the Cardinals are tied up with the L.A. Rams at 7-1 in the NFC West.

The Cowboys have several games coming up versus teams that are struggling to stay at or above .500 with the Broncos, Falcons and Chiefs. They’ll get a big test on Thanksgiving with a game versus the AFC West-leading Las Vegas Raiders.
