The Baltimore Ravens built a double-digit lead over the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 3 contest, and tensions were very high between the Cowboys’ top offensive superstars.
What happened between Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb during the blowout, and should Cowboys fans be worried about the outburst?

The argument went viral, with many fans reacting to Lamb’s outburst.
With eight minutes left in the game, Prescott has completed just 22 of 38 passes, throwing for 269 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Lamb has four receptions (on five targets) and 67 yards.
The Cowboys currently trail the Ravens 28-18, and they are trying to avoid falling to 1-2 on the season.
The Ravens have dominated the Cowboys on the ground all afternoon. Derrick Henry has rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, while Lamar Jackson has 75 rushing yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. Even Justice Hill has gotten involved, rushing for 33 yards on five attempts. On the day, Baltimore has rushed for a whopping 254 yards, averaging a whopping 6.9 yards per carry.
Prescott and Lamb will have to work out their differences, as neither player is going anywhere since they both signed lucrative contracts over the offseason.
Prescott signed a record four-year, $240 million deal to become the highest-paid player in NFL history. Hours before the Cowboys’ 2024 season kicked off, the Cowboys inked Prescott to his new deal, which has an average annual value of $60 million.
Meanwhile, Lamb reached an agreement on a four-year extension worth $136 million. The deal includes $100 million guaranteed, plus a wide receiver record $38 million signing bonus. Lamb is the second-highest-paid non-QB in NFL history, trailing only Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
