CeeDee Lamb takes exception to claim he can't hold his liquor

This past weekend, the Dallas Cowboys returned to their winning ways in a 33-16 defeat of the Las Vegas Raiders.

While that was the main takeaway, another talking point has been taking center stage. When Dallas came out for the first drive of the game, both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens remained on the sideline.

It was revealed they were being disciplined, with Jerry Jones saying they had a "late problem." Rumors have circulated, but there was one story that bothered Lamb.

Some claimed that Lamb was throwing up at 7:30 a.m. after being out too late on Sunday. Lamb said that was false and stated that he can hold his liquor better than that.

CeeDee Lamb told me he was not down stairs throwing up a 7:30 a.m. in the morning as many rumors have suggested. He said he can hold his liquor better than that. He did acknowledge he missed curfew with George Pickens and that's why they were benched for the opening drive… https://t.co/yftXGxdj2H

Once they were back on the field, both Lamb and Pickens played well for the Cowboys. Lamb scored the first touchdown of the game, catching an 18-yarder from Dak Prescott. He finished with five catches for 66 yards.

Pickens was the leading receiver, going for 144 yards on nine receptions. He also scored a touchdown, which was his seventh of the season. That's already a career-high for Pickens, who has been thriving in the Dallas offense.

The Cowboys didn't seem upset with either player following the game. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said during his post-game interview that he was proud of how they responded, while Jerry Jones was quick to move on when asked.

Dallas is now set for a daunting stretch where they play three games in 12 days. First up, it will be the Philadelphia Eagles, who visit AT&T Stadium on Sunday. The Cowboys will then face the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day and the Detroit Lions the following Thursday.
