After a frustrating goal-line collapse in Rio, Dallas’s star wideout demands accountability and clinical execution to salvage the team's identity before a high-stakes showdown in Houston.

Much has been made of the Dallas Cowboys and their "GOTI" name for their offense.

And sitting at 1-2, after failing to get into the endzone facing a first and two from the Baltimore Ravens' two-yard line in Rio, many are calling for the name to be scrapped.

You can't call yourself "GOTI" - "Greatest Offense Their Is!'' - and not punch it in from there, right?

Well, as it turns out, a lot of other players feel the same, and attention turns to the Houston Texans on Sunday. The Cowboys' offense is again a big storyline after the failures of last week.

Self-inflicted wounds hurt Dallas in Rio as the offense drove to take the lead, and Luke Schoonmaker's false start was a killer.

And CeeDee Lamb knows what the offense has to do to truly call itself GOTI.

"I just feel like if we're going to be who we say we are, I don't know one great offense that can't get in from the one-yard line with four tries, that's how I think of it regardless,” Lamb said. “I just feel like we just got to finish, man. And I know I say that a lot, but it's a lot of things that could go wrong. Not shooting ourselves in the foot. We can't go backwards once we're already at the one.

"The only thing that we can do is go forward and be rewarded. So, I think we need to do that. Finish drives off, and then we going to look up in the fourth and see how many points we got.”

So that is the blueprint, and in truth, should be every week.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot. Don't go backward, and when you get a chance to punch it in for six, you do it.

Lamb rejected the notion that the offense has to be "perfect" to win games and stated that the offense feels like they should be regardless, but there's no denying the margin for error with this defense is wafer-thin for Lamb and Co.

So, onto 0-3 Houston we go in NFL Sunday Week 4, as a tough road game awaits the Cowboys and their high-powered offense.

And if the 1-2 Cowboys are to walk into NRG Stadium and walk out with a win, the offense will have to be nearly flawless, and I think CeeDee knows it as well.
