CeeDee Lamb didn’t mince words after the Cowboys suffered a disappointing 42-10 loss to the 49ers in prime time on Sunday night. Dallas was dealt one of its most disappointing losses in recent memory, yet another setback against the team that eliminated it from the playoffs in each of the past two seasons.
Lamb, who registered four receptions for 49 yards, gave possibly the most candid and blunt evaluation of the team’s struggles and its inconsistency—sometimes looking like a team with potential to be great, and then showing up with a performance like Sunday’s.
“We got to be complete. We can’t go out there one week and look like a super team and then the following week s--- the bed,” Lamb said, per The Athletic’s Jon Machota.

It’s difficult to argue with Lamb’s comments, as the Cowboys defeated the Patriots in dominant fashion, 38-3, just one week earlier. In Week 3, Dallas lost to the Cardinals, who currently sit at 1-4 on the season. The loss against San Francisco drops the Cowboys 3-2 on the season and seemingly leaves them still attempting to find an identity.
The 49ers dominated Dallas in virtually every category Sunday night, jumping out to a 21-7 halftime lead and scoring in every quarter. Led by quarterback Brock Purdy’s four touchdown passes and impressive showing, the 49ers outgained Dallas 421-197 in total yards, including a 251-140 advantage in passing yards.
