"That's the matchup the Cowboys wanted. Cooper DeJean on CeeDee Lamb with no safety help!" Peyton thinks that's too eas Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Dallas sought the isolation for Lamb against DeJean. Peyton graded the look as too easy for Dallas.

Why it matters: Single coverage without safety help leaves the defender without help over the top. Repeated success in that alignment changes how much help Dallas commands.

What to watch: Whether safety help rotates toward Lamb on upcoming snaps shows how long Dallas keeps the matchup.
