Before Lamb’s suspension against the Lions, he had compiled six receptions for 121 yards, converting on his second straight 100-yard rusher and his fifth of the season.
Despite missing three games earlier this season with an ankle injury, Lamb is still on track for a fifth straight 1,000-yard campaign, having 57 receptions for 865 yards and three touchdowns thus far.
Lamb and George Pickens (78/1,179/8) have quickly assembled into one of the NFL’s most formidable WR duos. They will face Minnesota again in hopes of keeping Dallas’ playoff hopes alive.
According to Next Generation Stats, the Cowboys have an 11% playoff chance, which will drop to 3% with a loss and increase to 15% with a win.
The Cowboys (6-6-1) open against the visiting Vikings (5-8) at 8:20 PM ET Sunday.
