Star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb made an impact despite not playing for the Dallas Cowboys during their pre-season 31-21 loss to the LA Rams.
Lamb was inadvertently involved from the sidelines, taking a heavy hit and giving away a penalty when an official collided with him.
The 26-year-old turned his back to the action, holding up his left hand to celebrate a long pass from quarterback Joe Milton III to Jonathan Mingo. With neither looking at each other, a sprinting sideline official charged straight into Lamb, knocking him to the ground.
Lamb did get up laughing but the Cowboys were penalised.
“It’s a sideline interference,” referee Alex Moore said in the pool report to the LA Times. “CeeDee Lamb was standing in the restricted white border area, which is our area to officiate the game.
“The official on the play was focused solely on doing his job and he ran into CeeDee Lamb, who was standing in that restricted area. That’s what happened. And with that contact, it’s an automatic foul.”
Lamb proved too elusive for Miami’s defence with this 49-yard touchdown
“It’s more of a rare situation,” Moore added. “Normally we don’t have anybody standing that deep into the restricted area, or that type of forceful contact. So, it is a rare occurrence, but it does happen from time to time.”
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said: “Just like the pre-snap penalties, that penalty, we’ve got to be better with discipline.
“I hope the guy’s OK. I think he’s OK, the official that he ran into, but we have to be better than that. CeeDee knows better. We know better.”

John Mateer could vault back to the forefront of the Heisman race in Week 7.

Early Week 6 NFL bets to make right now: Back the Steelers
We are headed into Week 6 of the NFL season, which means one handicapping situation comes into play that we haven't seen yet this season: the rest advantage created by a team coming off its bye week. Bye Weeks started in Week 5, so while we have seen some 10-day rest advantages because of Thursday Night Football, and some single-day rest disadvantages because of Monday Night Football, this is the first time we see a full week on rest and prep advantages. That will definitely be a factor in both of my suggested plays this week.These Tuesday NFL articles have been very reliable at producing closing line value and subsequent winners: 5-0 in the last two weeks, closing ahead of the market four times and just flat at the number in one. Let’s hope to keep it up by attacking […]

How spring football plans to get bigger by getting smaller
For more than 40 years now, visionaries, investors and the occasional future president have attempted to make spring football work in the United States. All have foundered or failed, struggling both to draw fans and to justify their own existence.Here’s the big question that has bedeviled spring football since the USFL first kicked off in 1982: Is this a problem of product or presentation? Is the very idea of spring football flawed, or do its problems lie in the way it’s branded, marketed and offered up to the public?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe United Football League believes it’s hit on an answer to those questions, and on Tuesday unveiled a range of strategies designed to maximize spring football’s strengths (it’s football) while minimizing its weaknesses (low attendance relative to NFL games). Starting in the 2026 season, three new franchises — the Orlando Storm, the […]
