The Dallas Cowboys are 3-2 and have a critical Week 6 showdown against the Detroit Lions. They have won two straight games after securing a 20-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5.
Despite getting the victory, it wasn't all positive vibes. Well at least from the fans' perspective, watching the game on TV.
Shortly after Dak Prescott threw an interception in the third quarter, cameras caught receiver CeeDee Lamb yelling something toward Prescott. Many people believed he was ripping into his QB but that wasn't the case and Lamb revealed what he actually said.

Cowboys News: Ceedee Lamb Tells Media What He Said to Dak Prescott
Lamb was speaking to reporters on Thursday and confirmed that he said, "Jump balls, Four. Jump balls and I got you."
That puts to rest all the extra drama that people were attempting to create. Tensions are high during games but Lamb wants to make it clear he wasn't yelling at his QB.
To be fair, from a glimpse that was shown on TV, you could see why people would think it was more than what it actually was.
Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico weigh in on a conversation CeeDee Lamb had with Dak Prescott after a bad interception.

Collinsworth: I'll let you read your own lips. At Dak. Dak doesn't react at all. Doesn't look good.
Tirico: Not a bit. Not a bit. pic.twitter.com/6kTAygmljS
On the interception that Prescott threw, he was targeting Lamb but didn't throw it high enough for the 25-year-old to make a play on the ball.
The Oklahoma product just wanted to let his QB know to throw the ball higher so he could either attempt to catch it or at least break up the pass.
But there are no problems or drama with the Cowboys' 1-2 punch. Lamb is 10th in the NFL in receiving yards (378) with 25 catches and two touchdowns.
They are focused on beating the Lions and head into the bye week on a three-game win streak.
