CeeDee Lamb revealed that he made some changes to his approach along with Dak Prescott during the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 7 bye.

“Obviously, it’s well-known now that me and Dak is a nice duo,” Lamb told NBC Sports’ Jason Garrett (5:00 mark). “We complement each other well. With that, we know it’s a game of adjustments. Whoever can adjust the most, they win the game. So with that, this bye week, we definitely made some adjustments and we’re going to look to attack these defenses from different areas and that’s where the fun is in the game.”

The Cowboys could use an offensive adjustment, as they’re sitting at just 3-3 through six games following last year’s NFC East title. After scoring 33 points in a season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns, Dallas has averaged just 18.6 points per game in five contests since.

It’s a disappointing stretch, especially considering the Cowboys ended the 2023 season with the best scoring offense in the NFL.

Lamb and Prescott have experienced trouble getting on the same page, as the three-time Pro Bowl wideout is averaging 77.8 yards per game through six appearances. While it’s hardly a subpar output, it still represents a decline from his average of 102.9 yards per game in 2023.

Lamb has also recorded just two touchdowns after finding the end zone 12 times last season.

Prescott has also failed to exceed expectations despite completing 63.4 percent of his passes for 1,602 yards. After throwing just nine interceptions in 2023, he’s already been picked off six times in six starts.

There’s still more than enough time for Dallas to turn its season around, but it’ll need to start with Lamb and Prescott. They’ll attempt to bounce back after the bye in the Cowboys upcoming matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
