It seems like the highest-paid players in the NFL are not happy with each other. In an attempt to enhance their standings, the Dallas Cowboys paid a visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the situation quickly spiraled out of control. A lot of Cowboys were injured before the game and Dallas stacked up some more as the game began. In addition, the forlorn look on Dak Prescott’s face while on the sidelines, combined with CeeDee Lamb’s prompt acknowledgment of the Cowboys’ ongoing struggles, provided a clear reality check.
Prescott added more to the troubles after throwing a pick and CeeDee Lamb was mad. Lip readers quickly went to work after they saw CeeDee Lamb saying something to Dak Prescott on the sidelines. We don’t know what that was about. But apparently, some of the fans happen to be lip readers. So here are a few things that they have been saying about the altercation between Prescott and his receiver.
Dak Prescott had a bad night
Before we dive into what the people are saying about the exchange, let’s look at what happened. Prescott was obviously frustrated with the way his offense was performing. So, with about a minute left in the second quarter, the quarterback decided to lob a hasty pass to CeeDee Lamb, who was in the end zone.

To Prescott’s surprise, Lamb was being tailed by Donte Smith of the Steelers. #26 leaped in the air and caught the interception from Prescott. Well, it shouldn’t come as a shock to Lamb, as the route might have already been agreed upon. At this point, the Steelers were trailing by 6-3, but they replied with a touchdown as Fields lobbed a 16-yard pass to Connor Heyward.
However, Dak Prescott made up for his mistakes and threw a late third-quarter 22-yard TD pass to Rico Dowdle and lead the Cowboys to a 13-10 lead. It’s astonishing to watch the Dallas Cowboys QB constantly having 300-yard games and failing to lead his team to a W. Even more surprising is Dak’s connection with Lamb dwindling. Chris Collinsworth thinks there’s some beef between Prescott and his receiver Lamb. But who knows?
Upon reaching the fourth quarter, Lamb had just four receptions for 53 yards. In fact, Lamb did all he could in the first quarter and then his involvement just faded away in silence. Are the Dallas Cowboys trying something new, or is it the fact that the Prescott-Lamb connection is dulling down? Let’s look at what the fans made of the animated exchange between the QB-WR duo.
Fans try deciphering CeeDee Lamb
One fan predicted how Lamb was criticizing Dak for his bad throws as she wrote on X, “Subpar throw. Subpar.” Another fan pointed out something along the same lines, writing, “Sub par throw. Sub par Dak (or maybe throw again).” It seems like a lot of other people have the same opinion about the words that came out of CeeDee Lamb’s mouth.

While some fans attested Lamb’s words to Prescott’s slander, a fan pointed out his opinion of what Lamb was saying, “Jump balls fo (folk), jump balls I got you.” Another person had the same theory. Lamb was asking Prescott to throw him a jump ball, saying, “He was telling him to throw a jump ball.”
Even after all this happening, Prescott’s night got even worse after he threw a pick on a pass headed for Jalen Tolbert. It landed in the hands of Joey Porter Jr. Looks like Prescott and his team have a lot of questions to answer tonight. But the good thing is Jalen Tolbert saved the game and the Dallas Cowboys season with a couple of minutes remaining in the end. Somehow, the Dallas Cowboys managed to win the game with 20-17 on the board.
