Sunday Night Football broadcasters Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico suggested there was trouble brewing between two Cowboys stars during their win over the Steelers - but many fans have a different theory of what happened.
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott was intercepted towards the end of the second quarter on a pass intended for wideout CeeDee Lamb, and the two appeared to have a tense moment on the sideline after.
'Hard to explain, just throwing into coverage - and something's wrong,' Collinsworth said. 'CeeDee Lamb at the end of that. I'll let you read your own lips. At Dak. Dak doesn't react at all. Doesn't look good.'
'Not a bit,' Tirco added. 'Not a bit.'
Some fans online theorized that Lamb had chastised Prescott for making a 'sub-par throw.'
CeeDee Lamb said something to Dak Prescott after the quarterback threw an interception
Prescott did not look at his receiver after the remarks, which came in the second quarter
The sideline moment came after Prescott's interception from the Pittsburgh 15-yard-line, and the quarterback did not look up at the wide receiver as he spoke at him.
However, there seemed to be a more of a majority on X that Lamb was actually encouraging his quarterback.
'Jump ball [No.] four, jump ball, I got you!,' many believed Lamb said.
That would certainly make sense as Prescott and Lamb appeared to be on different pages during the second quarter interception - in which the receiver was deeper in the end zone but Prescott threw a comeback route short of him.
It was one of two picks that Prescott threw in the game.
Other fans criticized Collinsworth for stirring the pot, with one writing, 'Yeah Collinsworth said that because he had no idea what CeeDee said and neither do any of us.'

Prescott recovered to throw a game-winning touchdown to Jalen Tolbert with 20 seconds left
Regardless, Prescott would dust himself off to eventually lead the Cowboys to a 20-17 win with just 20 seconds remaining.
Prescott hit receiver Jalen Tolbert for a four-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal to silence the Pittsburgh crowd and bring Dallas to a 3-2 record.
Prescott threw for 352 yards and two scores while Lamb had a somewhat quiet night by his lofty standards, hauling in five catches for 62 yards.
Dallas will host the Lions this weekend in a big time NFC clash.
