Cowboys Star CeeDee Lamb Breaks Silence on Viral Vegas Rumor, Explains How He Handled Curfew Bench

CeeDee Lamb spoke on Thursday with one clear goal. He wanted to end the rumor that spread online after the Cowboys win over the Raiders in Las Vegas. The story grew fast and created confusion among fans.

Lamb said the rumor that he was seen vomiting at a casino was not true. He admitted to breaking curfew, but he stressed that the rest of the story was fabricated.

The situation started when Lamb and teammate George Pickens went out for dinner and drinks at the Red Rock Casino the night before the game. They returned later than the team rule allowed. 

A rumor then surfaced online claiming Lamb was seen sick in the casino early on Monday morning. The rumor spread across social media and was shared without proof.

Lamb made sure to correct it. “That is a disrespect to even suggest that,” he said. “I know how to hold my liquor.” His tone was firm, and he made it clear that the claim was wrong. Lamb said the only mistake he made was breaking curfew, not anything related to the rumor.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer punished both Lamb and Pickens by keeping them out of the first offensive drive. 

Schottenheimer did not share many details about the disciplinary decision, but he made it clear that the team expects players to follow rules. The benching sent a message that the standard applies to everyone, even star players.

When Lamb returned to the field, he responded with strong play. He scored a touchdown and gave the Cowboys steady production in an important game. 

Lamb said after the win that he’d accepted the punishment, stayed focused, and proved himself when it mattered, adding that he handled his mistake and delivered when it counted.

CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens deliver big performance against Raiders

For disciplinary reasons after missing curfew, Dallas Cowboys wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were benched for the first drive of the Monday Night Football game against the Las Vegas Raiders. 

They were reinstated for the second drive and delivered a combined 14 receptions, 210 yards, and two touchdowns in the Cowboys’ 33-16 victory.

Pickens led the receiving effort with 9 receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. CeeDee Lamb contributed 5 catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets. 

Combined, the pair accounted for 14 receptions for 210 receiving yards and both of the team’s receiving touchdowns, making a significant statement after their brief benching.

The duo’s performance helped the Cowboys stay alive in the playoff race. Their ability to bounce back from a curfew incident demonstrates focus and professionalism. Both players clearly shifted attention from off-field issues to on-field production.
