During the Dallas Cowboys’ 20-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 6, 2024, tensions flared between wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott. After Prescott threw an interception intended for Lamb in the third quarter, with Dallas trailing 10-6, Lamb appeared to criticize Prescott on the sidelines, possibly saying “subpar throw.” Prescott did not visibly react to the comment.
Commentators Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico noted the strained interaction, emphasizing that it didn’t look good for the team’s chemistry. Despite the incident, Prescott led the Cowboys to a late-game rally, throwing for 352 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, and a fumble. He orchestrated the game-winning drive, ending with a touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert with 20 seconds left. Both Lamb and Prescott had signed contract extensions earlier in the offseason, securing their future with the Cowboys for four more years. Dallas improved to 3-2 and will face the Detroit Lions on October 13.
