Watch: CeeDee Lamb makes one-handed catch, nearly comes down with another

It's safe to say CeeDee Lamb single-handedly changed the complexion of Thursday's game against the New York Giants with a one-handed catch late in the third quarter. He nearly broke Twitter with another in the fourth.

The Cowboys were nursing a one-point lead with under three minutes left in the third quarter when Lamb made a tough one-handed catch to put Dallas at the Giants 4-yard line. Pass interference was called on Giants cornerback Darnay Holmes, but even that wasn't enough to prevent Lamb from coming down with the catch.

The team scored a touchdown to take an eight-point lead two plays later.

He nearly came down with an even better catch in the end zone on the Cowboys' next drive. From the Giants 2-yard line, Lamb grabbed the ball with one hand and secured it, but his left heel landed out of bounds and the pass was incomplete.

Lamb was instrumental in the team's come-from-behind win on Thanksgiving. He led the Cowboys with six receptions for 106 yards.

The team got off to a cold start, trailing 13-7 at the half. QB Dak Prescott wasn't sharp as he threw two interceptions in the first half. When the team needed a spark, its star wide receiver took matters into his own hands.

On Turkey Day, Lamb feasted.
