CeeDee Lamb calls it "everything" to have a career day in his return to Houston - NBC Sports
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb delivered a career-best performance in his hometown of Houston, recording 17 catches for 189 yards and a game-winning touchdown. The performance moved Lamb up the Cowboys' all-time receiving record books.
Why it matters
Lamb's record-setting game highlights his emergence as one of the NFL's elite wide receivers and underscores the emotional significance of professional athletes performing in their hometowns.
CeeDee Lamb grew up 24 miles from Reliant Stadium in Richmond, Texas. He had attended a game at the home of the Texans, but he had never played there until Sunday.
The Cowboys receiver went off against his hometown team, catching 17 passes for 189 yards, including the game-winning, 12-yard touchdown with 40 seconds remaining.
Lamb called it “everything” to do what he did in Houston.
“My grandma came out. That was really good to see ,” Lamb said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. “She didn’t really come to many of my games and really do all the hoorah and screaming. So it was good to see my family here. It’s been a long road to end up in this situation, and I’m grateful for it. And just coming back and seeing a lot of things that I’m familiar with growing up.”
