CeeDee Lamb goes off for three touchdowns in Pro Bowl Games
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is fresh off of the strongest season of his NFL career to date, being selected to his third consecutive Pro Bowl following his impressive showing. And at this year’s Pro Bowl games, he kept his hot streak going.
Lamb secured the hat trick during the Pro Bowl’s flag football game, scoring three touchdowns to help the NFC defeat the AFC 64-59 on Sunday in Orlando Florida.
Check out Lamb’s third touchdown catch of the day, thrown by Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield in the third quarter, below.
Miami Dolphins teammates Tua Tagovailova and Tyreek Hill connected to score the first touchdown of the game to take the early lead. But NFC East rivals Lamb and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts would team up to respond and score. With Hurts finding Lamb on a 26-yard touchdown pass, which was followed by a D’Andre Swift two-point conversion to give the NFC the early 7-6 lead.
Hurts would find Lamb again for his second touchdown catch of the game. But later in the game when Lamb tried to connect on a pass to Hurts for a trick play, it wasn’t as successful, as Hurts took a tumble in one of the most hilarious moments of the Pro Bowl Games.

Lamb notched career highs in receptions, yardage, and touchdowns this season in his fourth year in the NFL. He ended the year with a league-leading 135 catches, 1,749 yards, and 12 touchdowns, also racking up 113 rushing yards and four scores on the ground.
After earning Second-Team All-Pro honors in 2022, Lamb secured his firs career First-Team All-Pro selection in 2023. Establishing himself as one of the top receivers in the NFL and in Dallas Cowboys history, breaking the franchise single-season receptions and receiving yards record and surpassing another icon that wore No. 88 in the process, Michael Irvin.
Along with his quarterback Dak Prescott, Lamb was also selected as one of five finalists for the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award, joining Tyreek Hill, Lamar Jackson, and Christian McCaffrey.
The duo was arguably the best quarterback-wide receiver duo in the entire NFL for the 2023 season, but unfortunately the two could not translate their regular season success to the postseason. With the Cowboys falling to the Green Bay Packers 48-32 in the NFC Wild Card Round of the playoffs despite Lamb ending the game with nine catches for 110 yards.
