ARLINGTON — When CeeDee Lamb hauled in his twelfth catch of the night, Jake Ferguson found himself clapping on the sideline like a fan. He’s seen greatness before — this is the Dallas Cowboys, after all — but this was something else entirely.
Lamb wasn’t just playing well. He was making history.
By the end of the Cowboys’ dominant win over Washington, Lamb had piled up 239 receiving yards and three touchdowns — breaking the franchise’s single-game record and etching his name alongside the legends who came before him.
Ferguson, who’s shared the huddle and the grind with Lamb since training camp, couldn’t help but marvel. “It’s crazy,” he said afterward. “You see the guy every day, you see the work he puts in. So when it explodes like that on a Sunday night? You just have to appreciate it.”
That appreciation was evident throughout the game. Every time Lamb broke another tackle or danced through double coverage, Ferguson was the first to celebrate. “He’s a monster,” the tight end said, shaking his head with a grin. “And the thing is, he makes it look so easy.”
The record-setting performance felt like more than stats — it was a statement of how explosive the Cowboys’ offense can be when firing on all cylinders. Prescott found rhythm early, the offensive line held strong, and Lamb turned opportunity into artistry.
“CeeDee was on a mission,” Ferguson said. “He wasn’t talking much. Just locked in. You could feel it.”
When asked about Lamb’s mentality, Ferguson pointed to the small details. “He’s the first guy out there on Fridays, catching balls off the machine. It’s not random. Nights like this are built Monday through Saturday.”
As the final seconds ticked down, Lamb’s teammates mobbed him on the sideline. Cameras caught Ferguson wrapping him in a bear hug. “I told him, ‘You just made history, bro,’” Ferguson said. “He just laughed. He’s humble like that.”
It was a night to remember — not just for Lamb, but for a locker room that thrives on brotherhood. “That’s what’s special about this team,” Ferguson said. “We feed off each other. One guy eats, we all celebrate.”
For the Cowboys, it was proof that their offense still has fireworks to spare — and for Ferguson, it was a reminder of what greatness looks like up close.
