CeeDee Lamb Achieves Milestone Despite Team Struggles

On December 17, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from postseason contention after the Philadelphia Eagles secured the NFC East title with a 29-18 victory over the Washington Commanders.

The Cowboys then faced the Los Angeles Chargers the following day, suffering a 34-17 loss, marking their fifth double-digit defeat of the season. Despite the team's struggles, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb made history by surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive season, joining Michael Irvin as the only players in franchise history to achieve this milestone.

Lamb recorded six catches for 51 yards in the game, bringing his career reception total to 565 and career receiving yard total to 7,366. With just 94 yards needed in the upcoming Christmas Day matchup against the Washington Commanders, Lamb could surpass Dez Bryant for fifth place on the Cowboys' all-time receiving yards list.

Furthermore, Lamb is on track to potentially set an NFL record for the most receptions through a player's first six seasons, currently holding 565 receptions, edging out Jarvis Landry's previous record of 564.

Lamb will need to maintain higher productivity than fellow 2020 draftee Justin Jefferson, who now has 567 receptions after his own performance over the weekend.
