A play that didn’t get very much attention in Sunday’s Vikings-Cowboys game is picking up steam as potentially having been very dirty.
CeeDee Lamb was tackled on the sideline by Vikings safety Harrison Smith after a catch, but it appeared to be more than a garden-variety hit. In a video originally distributed by the Cowboys, Smith appears to choke Lamb, and then Lamb can be seen on the Dallas bench saying that Smith “choked the f— out of me”:
Ceedee Lamb says Harrison Smith choked him during a tackle on Sunday. ScreengrabsSmith was not flagged on the play, and the game broadcast made no mention of it.
Another angle of the play does not make it look like a particularly comfortable situation for Lamb.
The Cowboys ultimately won the game 20-16, but days later, a choking accusation is what the sports world is talking about.
