All people traces up quicker than any [I’ve been on]. It is robust.”

Lamb’s sentiment can actually be backed up by his and his teammates’ manufacturing, each individually and collectively. The 31.7 factors per sport Dallas is averaging proper now’s probably the most of any workforce quarterbacked by Dak Prescott, since 2016, simply forward of the 31.2 factors per sport the Cowboys’ 2021 offense averaged. The 2025 Cowboys are additionally the third workforce in NFL historical past to attain a minimum of 40 factors in every of their first three residence video games of a season, becoming a member of the Roger Staubach and Tom Landry 1973 Cowboys and the “Best Present on Turf” 2000 St. Louis Rams, per CBS Sports activities Analysis.

“Not a knock to another group that I have been part of, however the chemistry, the camaraderie, the trash speaking, the feelings and keenness of this unit — it is there as a lot as I’ve ever seen it,” Prescott mentioned postgame. “Positive, we have got some youth that is most likely an enormous a part of it, however we have got guys who simply work their tails off each day, and I say it on a regular basis, confidence is earned. …This group practices the best method, and so they’ve earned the boldness. They go on the market, and we play with it and it is enjoyable. It truly is enjoyable. It is in a collaborative effort, and it is not about me. It is not about anyone individual in that group. It is about the best way that all of us play for each other, doing our 1/11 every play and seeing what the result’s afterwards.”

A lot of that manufacturing has come within the final 4 video games, and the result’s the 2025 Cowboys offense is now simply the fifth because the 1970 AFL/NFL merger to common a minimum of 35 factors per sport with out a turnover in a four-game span inside a single season, per CBS Sports activities Analysis. The opposite such occurrences have been 2010’s New England Patriots offenses piloted by Tom Brady (2010 and 2014 — Brady was the 2010 NFL MVP) and 2010’s Inexperienced Bay Packers offenses led by Aaron Rodgers (2014 and 2020– Rodgers gained NFL MVP in each such seasons).

“I feel we have got an impressive chief in our quarterback, and we acquired an impressive participant within the quarterback,” Jones mentioned. 

Talking of Prescott, his 13 passing touchdowns since Week 4 on this historic four-game stretch lead the NFL on this span, and he is thrown a minimum of three scoring strikes with out an interception in all 4 video games of this magical run. That is now tied for the second-most consecutive video games with a minimum of three passing touchdowns and no interceptions in NFL historical past. Prescott is in a membership with quarterbacks like Drew Brees (2019), Rodgers (2014), Peyton Manning (2013-2014) and Brady (2007) on this regard. 

“A whole lot of issues coming collectively. It is all of the work that I’ve put into this. Personally, quite a lot of offseason work to the workforce  getting collectively within the spring, to coaching camp. Success by means of these previous few video games is simply solely rising the boldness.” Prescott mentioned of this four-game stretch when requested by CBS Sports activities. “I do know who I’m. I really feel nice throwing the ball. Once you acquired cross catchers like these two guys [Pickens and Lamb], …. Turp [KaVontae  Turpin], [Jalen] Tolbert, Flo [Ryan Flournoy] which are making performs and making the most of their alternatives each time  they arrive. I am simply gonna hold pushing myself to get higher. You have been round, you perceive that, that is all I need to do.”

“Dak’s taking part in rather well. You realize, I am not making an attempt to not make an enormous deal about him taking part in nice, however that is what we  count on from Dak, and he is acquired unbelievable weapons,” head coach Brian Schottenheimer mentioned postgame. …”However you see the belief that he has in these guys.” 

Is Prescott extra pleased with his 13 touchdowns or no interceptions on this historic stretch? His reply: slightly little bit of each. 

“I am unsure. “I feel they go hand-in-hand to be trustworthy. Once you deal with the ball, you might have extra alternatives to  rating touchdowns, and that is resulting in that,” Prescott mentioned. “Not counting the touchdowns, most likely the interceptions being true. I could not let you know what number of touchdowns it was, however I can let you know that I hadn’t thrown an interception. I am making an attempt to be good with it, however not hesitant, scared or cautious on the similar time. I’ve tons of confidence in what I can do, the place I can put it, and the fellows that I am throwing it to, in order that’s only a results of that.”

No play additional exemplified the belief Prescott has in his weapons than his 74-yard deep ball landing cross to Lamb. Pickens was truly the No. 1 learn on that play, and the best way he was designed to run his route was for him to get a deep ball to go to the home. Prescott was able to make that throw, however then he noticed Lamb’s hand go up, and he made the heave to ol’ dependable, No. 88. That led to Lamb and Pickens dancing their method collectively into the top zone for an early 17-8 lead on the tail finish of the primary quarter. 

“It wasn’t the route we have been anticipating. It was constructed for him [Lamb] to run a deep cross proper there. I’m going by means of learn one, which was George [Pickens], then I see the massive window the place if he would’ve ran that route, he would’ve had an incredible play, not a landing,” Prescott mentioned. “I seemed to search out CeeDee, and he is acquired his arms up saying ‘I am right here.’ At that time, I noticed the protection or the nook to the best. I simply put about every thing I had on the road, understanding that I might simply lob it up and each guys would be capable of make a play and attempt to give them an opportunity. He [Lamb] took a superb job taking two steps again and catching the  ball and walked into the top zone. As soon as once more, it was a play that is not made until you might have confidence within the man you are throwing to and that man is wise and understands the protection, understands the look, and understands he can take the  alternative. We have been in a position to capitalize on that.”

That is why Schottenheimer known as the play a “mailbox” play: Lamb caught his hand up, and Prescott discovered him. Pickens working his route in entrance of Lamb created confusion within the secondary as two Commanders defenders ran into one another on the play. 

“That is not a shock to me. He all the time helps me, you realize what I am saying?” Lamb mentioned when requested about Pickens clearing the best way for him on the play. “That is why we introduced him right here. It is thrilling, and he was the primary individual I noticed after I caught it. There was no one there, so I already knew what it was.”

Lamb known as it “our landing” as the 2 pranced down the sideline and into the top zone collectively. 

“At that time, it turns into our landing. It is simply whoever brings the ball in,” Lamb mentioned. “I really feel like ‘let’s proceed to do this and plenty of extra sooner or later.”

Within the lead as much as this sport, Prescott felt snug indicating Lamb and Pickens have been his high broad receiver duo ever, even higher than the tandem of Professional Bowler Amari Cooper and a youthful model of Lamb in 2021. Along with his former No. 88 Dez Bryant within the constructing for Dallas’ 2025 homecoming sport on Sunday, he joked he was going to say that slightly extra quietly, however he affirmed the sentiment as soon as extra. 

“It is as much as y’all to determine. Dez [Bryant] was simply in there too so do not say that too loud,” Prescott mentioned laughing. “These dudes are unbelievable. They’re, and that is credit score to them. That is credit score to the best way they present up and work every day. That is credit score to the usual that they’ve for themselves. That is credit score to the love they’ve for each other, the best way that they push one  one other. They positively are.”

Lamb and Pickens are “positively” Prescott’s high broad receiver duo of his 10-year profession, and the longer he continues to provide like this, the 2025 Cowboys offense will start to separate itself in addition to the very best of the Prescott period (2016-present) in Dallas.

“The sky is the restrict,” Prescott mentioned.
