CeeDee Lamb is 96 yards from becoming first Cowboys’ player with six straight 1,000-yard seasons

It may not happen today, but it’ll happen at some point.

Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb, with only 96 receiving yards over the next eight games, will become the first player in franchise history with six straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons.

It’s an amazing stat, given the great receivers the Cowboys have had — starting with those who, like Lamb, have worn No. 88: Dez Bryant, Michael Irvin, and Drew Pearson, most notably. Tight end Jason Witten had four in six years, with 952 and 942 peppered between them.

For the season, Lamb has a league-high 108 targets. He has made 70 catches for 904 yards and seven touchdowns.

More importantly, the 4-5 Cowboys have an opportunity to gain ground on the 5-3-1 Giants atop the NFC East. It won’t be easy against the 7-1 49ers. Especially since quarterback Dak Prescott has lost his last four starts against the 49ers.
