The Dallas Cowboys are enduring a tough season, largely due to factors beyond their control.

The team has been hit hard by injuries, most notably losing star quarterback Dak Prescott for the season, along with various other setbacks throughout the roster.

Despite flashes of success, including a 2-2 performance by backup quarterback Cooper Rush, their playoff aspirations took a major blow on Sunday with a 27-20 loss to the Bengals.

After the game, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb shared candid frustrations about the crushing defeat.

Lamb, who delivered an impressive performance with 93 yards and a touchdown on six receptions despite playing with a shoulder injury, didn’t hold back.

Speaking about the emotions in the locker room, Lamb described the loss succinctly: “It sucks.” He continued, “Obviously, we needed that win, and we didn’t get it.

So, as for everybody in the locker room, I mean, obviously that one hit us, and I ain’t really got too much to say on it, but yeah, it sucks.”

When asked if this loss was more painful than others this season, Lamb replied, “They all hurt just the same.” He added, “I mean, they add up, and then this is what you get.”

Lamb did acknowledge some positives, especially praising the defense. “They did a great job, obviously, just stopping them, giving us an opportunity to take over the game and giving us plenty of opportunities.

Obviously, some of them we didn’t maximize and fulfill, but I feel like going into halftime, we kind of dried up on the offensive side, and then coming out, we were still short,” Lamb explained.
