Referee explains sideline collision with Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: 'It's more of a rare situation'
Lamb absorbed one of the biggest hits of the game despite not being in uniform against the Los Angeles Rams
However, Lamb still ended up being on the receiving end of one of the most violent hits of the night despite being in a hat, t-shirt and sweatpants on the sideline. He ended up being penalized for "a foul against an official" that officially went down as an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty while watching Dallas' offense. Lamb began to celebrate Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo breaking wide open and beyond the Rams' secondary defenders. Lamb's celebration led him to the thickly-painted, white portion of the sideline where Lamb put his hand up and turned his back to everyone but Mingo flying downfield. An official was sprinting down the thick white portion of the sideline to keep up with the play, and he was so locked in on the action that he didn't notice Lamb until it was too late. Both of them went flying when the official smacked into Lamb's back on the tail end of the sequence."It's sideline interference. CeeDee Lamb was standing in the restricted white border area, which is our area to officiate the game. The official on the play was focused solely on doing his job, and he ran into CeeDee Lamb, who was standing in that restricted area," referee Alex Moore said postgame via a pool report. "That's what happened. And with that contact, it's an automatic foul."
Neither Schottenheimer nor Lamb argued the call, so all parties were able to move forward conflict free.

Jerry Jones gives baffling explanation on why he flipped off Jets fans in viral moment that cost him $250K
Never ask Jerry Jones to communicate via sign language.
The Dallas Cowboys owner said it was never his intention to issue a middle finger to fans at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and that the “unfortunate” gesture was supposed to be a celebratory thumbs up.
Jones went viral on social media for casting a quick one-finger salute from his suite — seemingly directed at the local crowd — following Dak Prescott’s fourth touchdown pass during the Cowboys’ 37-22 road victory over the New York Jets.
The gesture has proved costly with the NFL levying a $250,000 fine against the Cowboys’ owner that he will appeal, per NFL Network.
“That was unfortunate. That was kind of an exchange with our fans out in front of us,” Jones said Tuesday before the reveal of the fine during a radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
“There was a swarm of Cowboys fans out in front — not Jets fans, Cowboys fans. The entire stadium was brimming with enthusiasm of Cowboys and certainly late in the game.
“[The gesture] was inadvertent on my part because that was right after we made our last touchdown, and we were all excited about it. There wasn’t any antagonistic issue or anything like that. I just put up the wrong show on the hand.
“That was inadvertently done. I’m not kidding. If you want to call it accidental, you can call it accidental. But it got straightened around pretty quick. I had a chance to look at it. It got straightened out pretty quick, but the intention was ‘thumbs up,’ and basically pointing at our fans because everybody was jumping up and down excited.”
