As is often the case following a turnover, both Prescott and Lamb seemed visibly frustrated and the wideout said something to Prescott, who appeared to be looking away.

Couple that with a lack of an explosive game form Lamb and the rumor mill went wild with speculation that there was an issue between the two. Lamb has since clarified that, saying there’s “no beef” and even revealed what he actually said.

Ya’ll remember how ESPN and other networks tried making it seem like CeeDee Lamb was disrespecting Dak Prescott on the sideline?

During the broadcast, Cris Collinsworth said it appeared there was a miscommunication between Dak and Lamb and that’s exactly what this explanation revealed. Lamb wanted to use his height advantage so he went toward the pylon for a jump ball whereas Prescott thew the back shoulder pass.

This isn’t the first time a QB and WR had such a hiccup and won’t be the last. The important thing is that they continue to work at being on the same page, which Lamb says they are.
