Lamb took advantage of the 49ers' Achilles heel -- its cornerbacks -- and produced the first 100-yard receiving game of his young postseason career. The rest of Dallas' offense sputtered in the loss, bringing the star wideout's 2022 season to a close. Lamb finished with career highs across the board during the regular season, finishing with 107 receptions for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns across 17 games. The 23-year-old will enter the fourth year of his rookie contract in 2023, and he will likely command a huge contract extension if he continues to make strides as the Cowboys' top wideout.

Lamb was having a fairly underwhelming night until he rounded it out nicely with an 18-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter. The third-year wideout ultimately finished second in receiving yards and tied for second in targets, contributing in solid fashion on a night when Dak Prescott shined with a 300-yard, four-touchdown performance through the air. Lamb figures to play an integral role once again in Sunday evening's divisional-round road clash against a talented but occasionally vulnerable 49ers secondary.

The third-year wideout was the lone bright spot for the Dallas offense as it put together maybe its worst performance of the year. Lamb wraps up the regular season with career highs in catches (107), targets (156), receiving yards (1,359) and TDs (nine), and he'll likely need to come up big on the road in the wild-card round if the Cowboys are going to advance past the Buccaneers.

Lamb comfortably led the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, repeatedly capitalizing on a very short-handed Titans defense. The third-year wideout's performance included his fifth 100-yard tally of 2022 and tied his season high in receptions, and it also put him over the 100-catch mark for the campaign. Lamb's final opportunity to tune up for the postseason comes in a Week road matchup versus the Commanders a week from Sunday.

Lamb paced the Cowboys' pass-catching corps across the board in what was a spectacular performance. The star wideout recorded 36- and seven-yard touchdown grabs in the second and fourth quarters, respectively, the second erasing a 34-27 deficit to cap off an eight-play, 75-yard drive. Lamb's pair of touchdowns give him a new career high of eight for the campaign and served as his second multi-score tally of the season. Lamb also has consecutive 100-yard efforts for the first time in 2022 heading into a favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Titans on Thursday night.

Lamb was surprisingly out-targeted by Noah Brown in Sunday's loss, though he put together a far more efficient performance. Lamb ripped through the Jaguars' secondary for long gains on 39, 25, and 22 yards on his way third 100-yard performance of the season and in his last six games. The only thing missing from his effort was a trip to the end zone, though Lamb still needs just one more touchdown to reach a career high.
