Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb sends 5-word message to NFL after petty rule change | Sporting News

The Dallas Cowboys missed the playoffs last season and are looking to bounce back with a healthy combination of CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott.

However, Lamb is going to have to make a slight adjustment to his game, thanks to the NFL's later celebration rule change.

According to NFL Analyst Benjamin Solak , the NFL is banning the use of the "nose wipe" celebration.

"Any violent gesture, which will include but not be limited to a throat slash, simulating firing or brandishing a gun, or using the 'nose swipe' gesture, or an act that is sexually suggestive or offensive," the NFL press release red when describing actions that were now going to be a 15-yard penalty.

The "nose swipe" celebration was Lamb's signature celebration after he picked up a first down.

However, the supertsra will have to find a new way to celebrate first downs, unless he wants to stack up 15-yard penalties all season.

Lamb reacted to the news on social media.

"I have plenty in mind," Lamb wrote, accompanied by an emoji expressing his displeasure.

Ultimately, Lamb is likely frustrated that the league is choosing to focus on fixing celebrations rather than other parts of the game that need attention.

Last season, Lamb picked up 54 first downs in his Pro Bowl season.

He will need to pivot to a new celebration before the new season kicks off.
