CeeDee Lamb Sets Franchise Record with 17 Receptions in Win Over Texans
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught a career-high 17 passes for 189 yards, including the game-winning touchdown, as the team defeated the Houston Texans.
Dallas wide receiver CeeDee Lamb recorded 17 catches for 189 yards against his hometown Houston Texans on Sunday, sealing the victory with a 12-yard touchdown pass with 40 seconds left. The performance set a franchise record for most receptions in a game, surpassing the previous mark of 18 set by Jason Witten in 2012, and was the highest total by any NFL player since Keenan Allen’s 18 catches in early 2023. Lamb also moved into fourth place on the Cowboys’ all-time receiving yards list, overtaking Hall of Famer Drew Pearson with 7,914 yards, and is within reach of third place held by Tony Hill.
"My grandma came out. It was good to see my family here," Lamb said, adding that the moment was "a lot of emotions" and expressing gratitude for the opportunity. He said he will focus on building on the performance in the next game.
The Cowboys' victory marked Lamb’s first game against the Texans, the team he grew up watching from nearby Richmond, Texas.
