WATCH: Cowboys receiver gets tackled by official

Like a Lamb to the … referee?

Dallas Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb wasn’t dressed for Saturday’s preseason matchup vs. the Los Angeles Rams, but that doesn’t mean he was out of the action entirely.

In the second quarter, on a deep pass from Cowboys backup Joe Milton to wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, Lamb turned his back on the sideline to celebrate Mingo potentially catching a bomb from the passer.

Instead of Mingo catching the ball, Lamb caught a shoulder from the referee directly to the back, wiping out both in the mashup.

Lamb was flagged on the play for interfering with the referee: The thick white out-of-bounds border is strictly ref territory, so any contact with an official in that area results in a flag.

While there was a foul, there was no harm, however. Lamb and the Cowboys sideline had a good laugh about the ordeal. The Cowboys would also salvage the drive, notching a field goal.

It’s preseason for everyone, after all.
