Dallas Cowboys rolled into Lumen Field last night and dealt our Seahawks a tough 17-7 loss. That score stings, doesn’t it? Our 12s were out there, fired up, but it wasn’t enough to stop them from walking away with the win. The frustration is real, especially when you hear the kind of talk coming out of their locker room after a game like that.
That Lumen Field Letdown, and Dallas’s Arrogance
Seriously, a 17-7 loss on our home turf? That’s just a gut punch this early in the season. You expect more, right? It’s one thing to lose, but it’s another to lose and then hear the opposing team’s quarterback, Dak Prescott, already out there dubbing the entire Dallas unit “the Greatest Offense There Is.” Talk about confidence, or maybe just plain arrogance after beating us. That kind of bluster feels extra bitter when our Hawks are the ones staring down a scoreboard that didn’t go our way. It’s a high bar they’re setting for themselves, but seeing them pull off a 17-7 win against us last night, you gotta wonder what’s going on.
“The Best Ever” Talk After Taking Down Our Hawks
And get this: during *that very game* , the one where they just beat us , Dallas receiver CeeDee Lamb had the audacity to tell Nicole Hutchinson of DallasCowboys.com, via Jon Machota of The Athletic, that he and teammate George Pickens could be “the best ever” in 2026. “The best ever,” y’all! Can you believe the nerve? To reach that kind of legendary status, they’d have to outshine some seriously iconic duos. We’re talking about guys like Randy Moss and Cris Carter, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, Mark Duper and Mark Clayton, John Stallworth and Lynn Swann, and even Fred Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch. Oh, and let’s not forget Jerry Rice and whoever else was lucky enough to share the field with him.
Lamb’s putting a massive target on his back with that kind of talk, especially when the league currently features duos like Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. These guys are tearing it up! Even being the best one-two punch *currently* in the NFL isn’t a given for Lamb and Pickens, let alone “the best ever.” While they might be great in their second season together, that kind of declaration after beating *our* team just twists the knife a little more.
What’s Next for the Cowboys (and Our Frustration)
So, what does this all mean for Dallas? Well, with Lamb and Pickens potentially getting great in their second season together, the source suggests that if the Cowboys can just get “a little better on defense,” they could “thrust themselves into the postseason conversation.” That’s all that matters to them. For us, right now, what matters is shaking off that 17-7 loss and not letting this kind of talk get into our heads. We’ve got a long season ahead, and our Hawks need to buckle down and show these other teams what Emerald City football is really about. Let’s look forward to the next game and proving them wrong!
