The 8-3 Dallas Cowboys are hoping to keep pace with Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles. CeeDee Lamb is doing his part to help the Cowboys keep up with his former teammate in the NFC East.
With Dallas trailing 3-0, the Cowboys faced a third-and-9 deep in Indianapolis Colts territory. Dak Prescott dropped back to pass and found Lamb on the drag route over the middle. It looked as if Lamb was going to be stopped short of the line to gain after being wrapped up by a Colts defender. But the defender didn’t do enough to bring him down. Lamb rolled off the defender and kept his feet to run into the end zone.

It was a fantastic play on prime-time television, and social media reacted accordingly. Here’s a look at some of the best Twitter reactions to the big play.
Clutch
Great awareness from CeeDee Lamb, on what would have otherwise been a 4th & 6 at the 17, and a Cowboys field goal attempt.
Four points because of Lamb's balance and football IQ.

Wow. The awareness from CeeDee Lamb on that run – he never touched the ground, didn't hear a whistle and carries it in for six!

Magic Man
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb just Houdinied his way out of an arm tackle to convert touchdown on third-and-9. Was spun toward ground but never touched it, landing on Colts defender. Good awareness to keep going. A 20-yard score. 7-3.

Never stop playing
CeeDee Lamb – tough to tackle, and heads up. He never went down to the ground, and scoots away for the touchdown.
Cowboys lead.
Colts look stunned.

CeeDee helping Dak Prescott pass Captain America
Move over Roger Staubach. Make room for Dak Prescott.
Too much?
You’re right. But Prescott did pass Staubach w/ that TD throw to CeeDee Lamb. He now has 154.
