The Dallas Cowboys were handed yet another home loss by the Houston Texans on Monday. The Cowboys continue their misery run with a 3-7 record through Week 11.
Amid the tough start and the humiliating loss, the Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and cornerback Trevon Diggs were spotted at a club partying. The actions of the two players have sparked immense criticism and debates on social media. Some argue that the players showed unprofessionalism, while others think it is okay to shake the bad vibes off after a disappointing game.
It is reported that Lamb and Diggs were shooting a music video in the nightclub. Further details about the incident are yet to be known.
Lamb and Diggs are both in their second contracts with the team. Lamb signed a record extension in the offseason while Diggs secured a $100 million contract last year. Lamb is the highest-paid non-QB in the league with a $136 million deal for four years with a signing bonus of $36 million.
Both Diggs and Lamb had been involved in their fair share of controversies this season. Lamb, who recently spoke on the Cowboys’ fate acknowledging it s***ks, had been accused of ill body language towards backup quarterback Cooper Rush. Earlier in the season, Lamb made headlines with his animated spiel against then-quarterback Dak Prescott.
On the other hand, Trevon Diggs had a spirited fight against a reporter in the locker room. He cornered the reporter over a social media post, raging into an NSFW rant. Later, Diggs apologized. He was also in the headlines after fans accused him of purposely missing a tackle.
Many defend CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs as there is ‘no season to save’
Albeit questions of seriousness and commitment, a majority of fans are siding with the players. The main argument is that there’s no season to save, let the players enjoy. Some other key comments include that this is better than holing up in a room and drinks after a bad day are common.
Jerry Jones, the team general manager and owner, earlier commented that the team is facing an unanticipated record. There have been tough times, he said recollecting his initial season and many others. However, he noted that this season, he expected them to be better.
The Cowboys had been performing at a high level for the last three years. They had a really good record in the regular seasons, a stark contrast from what it is now.
The Cowboys face archrivals Washington Commanders this Sunday, seeking to revive their slim playoff hopes, trailing the division-leading Eagles by five wins. Meanwhile, the Commanders aim to rebound from back-to-back losses to the Steelers and Eagles.
