NFL reporter foolishly blames CeeDee Lamb for Dak Prescott's abysmal INTs

What if I told you that the Dallas Cowboys' best offensive weapon was being blamed for Dak Prescott's terrible interceptions against the San Francisco 49ers? It sounds stupid, right? Well, Ed Werder wants to make sure no one else eats up the hot shots in Week 8.

Werder found a way to blame Prescott's missteps during the game on CeeDee Lamb, who had 13 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns.

Lamb had his best game of the season, controlling the offense and answering the call after Cowboys legend Troy Aikman ripped the team's wide receivers for their “lazy” route running.

To illustrate how important Lamb was on Sunday night, the Cowboys' seven other pass catchers combined for 12 yards and 97 yards.

But Lamb's impact on the field apparently wasn't as important as firing off a stupid tweet. After Prescott made his first interception of the game, Werder decided to take a shot at Lamb's attempt.

“It seems that CeeDee Lamb never makes much effort to prevent the INT when Dak makes a bad throw,” Werder chimed in the Twittersphere (X-sphere?).

Now it may be hard to understand when you're firing off snarky tweets from an office chair, but how can you expect a man running at top speed to stop immediately, contort his body and pass a ball like that? gets subdued by five yards while a defender is already making his breakthrough?

Maybe someone watches too much professional wrestling and thinks NFL wideouts are Randy Orton, who can make a play out of nothing.

There are many reasons for the Cowboys' loss on Sunday night. Dak's second interception was a setback. And do you know who he blamed? Himself. Not CeeDee Lamb. He did not deny the law of inertia. He took responsibility.

“I don't have to be perfect, but I certainly can't have the turnovers…The second (INT) was as stupid an interception as I've ever had,” Prescott said. “Should have just thrown it away… It hurts to start the third quarter like that… That's on me. We can’t have that.”

Dak admitted his mistakes. Now hopefully a certain reporter can come clean about his stupid views.
