Unusual Incident with CeeDee Lamb in Preseason Match

• CeeDee Lamb received a hit from an arbiter during the match
• The Cowboys team received a penalty for contact with the arbiter
• The overall play of the team resulted in a penalty regarding preparation

In the preseason match between Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams, which took place on August 10, 2025, there was an unusual incident involving star receiver CeeDee Lamb. Although he was not in the game, Lamb received a hit from an arbiter, who did not notice him on the edge of the field.

The incident occurred during the second timeout when Lamb, dressed in civilian clothes, was observing the game. The arbiter, who was running in the direction of the ball, accidentally hit Lamb in the side. This episode resulted in a 15-yard penalty for the Cowboys for contact with the arbiter.

Although Lamb was standing without visible injuries and smiling at the situation, the penalty marked a significant setback for the team, especially since the Cowboys had just obtained a 51-yard advance after a foul by Rams' defender.

Prior to this incident, the Cowboys had problems with the attack and had only managed to gain one yard in the first timeout. Many key players, including Dak Prescott, did not play in this match, which contributed to the overall feeling of chaos on the field.

Although the team aimed to equalize the score with two penalty hits from Brandon Aubrey, the overall game resulted in a penalty regarding discipline and preparation of the team, particularly regarding the preseason match.
