CeeDee Lamb went off on the football field with a huge performance in the Dallas Cowboys' 38-21 "Monday Night Football" win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
He then made his thoughts clear about playing in Philly and let the fans know exactly what he thought of their team on ESPN's "SportsCenter." He said that although the NFC East might look easy, it doesn't feel that way when division rivals face off, especially in front of the Eagles' rowdy fanbase.
Philadelphia is now on a five-game losing streak amid various injuries to its key players. An "Eagles suck" chant broke out from the nearby stands as he spoke, and he echoed those sentiments to ESPN's Scott Van Pelt.

"First of all. I hate Philly. That's for one. Eagles suck. You heard the fans," Lamb said. "I don't like losing. I don't do well with losing. I hate losing more than I like winning."

"[Losing] don't sit well with me. I don't have a great day. It ruins my week, and it makes me want to be a better player. ... and overall a better man just for my guys, because I know how much work we put in each and every week," Lamb said.
Lamb's performance was a big part of the Cowboys' win on Monday night. He tallied five receptions for 74 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Teammate George Pickens also had a touchdown with 57 yards, while Ryan Flournoy finished with 70 receiving yards.
After the win, he also imitated a flying bird as he walked out onto the field, seemingly mocking the Eagles.
Quarterback Dak Prescott was also in good form, throwing for 212 passing yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. The Cowboys' offensive line also kept Prescott protected, preventing the Eagles from recording any sacks in the game.
It was a much-needed victory for the Cowboys, who were on a two-game losing streak. With the win, Lamb and the Cowboys improved to 3-4 and moved up to sole possession of second place in the division, as they chase the 4-2-1 New York Giants.
Next up, they'll host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. ET. They'll host the Eagles in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, at 4:30 p.m. ET.
