TULSA, Okla. — The NFL returns this week with a special edition of the NFL on NBC (KJRH-TV) on Thursday night featuring the Dallas Cowboys visiting the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Cowboys are bringing in what could be a dynamic offense this season if quarterback Dak Prescott stays healthy.
A focal point of that offense will be former Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Lamb played three seasons in Norman, recording more than 60 catches and more than 1,100 receiving yards in each of his last two.
In his rookie season last year with the Cowboys, Lamb shined despite playing with a backup quarterback for most of the season, finishing with 74 catches for 935 yards and 6 touchdowns.
