At the start of the Monday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders, when both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens sat on the sideline during the entire first drive, it had me and the rest of the fan base scratching our heads.
Well, I am sure you may have already seen the news, but for those that follow us for this type of stuff, as you can see by the title, missing curfew was the reason both of them did not play the first drive, in which the Dallas offense went three and out and had to punt it away.
Details?
Reports all over the place just a few days after Monday night’s game said that the wide receivers were spotted at the Red Rock Casino in Vegas after curfew. One said Lamb was seen vomiting at 7:30 a.m. Monday.
On Thursday, Lamb confirmed the duo had dinner and drinks at the Red Rock Casino, away from the team hotel after curfew, but he denied he was throwing up Monday morning.
CeeDee Lamb denied throwing up in a Las Vegas casino before the Cowboys-Raiders game because he “knows how to hold his liquor,” per @calvinwatkins

Them being out passed curfew, whatever that is for the team, is one thing. If he was actually throwing up Monday morning, and they both combined for 14 receptions for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the 33-16 win, then wow I will say that might be one of the more impressive things I have seen.
In my opinion, this would be a much bigger issue if the Cowboys played poorly on Monday night on offense, but that was not the case. They moved the ball at will, and both Lamb and Pickens had big nights.
Next up are the Eagles at home in a game in which they have to win to get to 5-5-1 and put some pressure on other teams to keep winning that they are chasing for the last wild card spot.
It has been a big topic of conversation this week, but if the defense can hold its own this Sunday afternoon, and the offense can move the ball against a Eagles’ defense that has been awesome, then we can talk.
The Packers and the Lions looked lost against the Eagles defense the last two weeks, and the Cowboys are going to need everything they can get from both Lamb and Pickens if they want to win this game, so maybe this week they will make sure they are where they need to be at the correct time.
