On September 12, 2025, the NFL world was jolted not by a game-winning touchdown or a shocking trade, but by an emotional plea from Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Standing at the podium after practice, Lamb fought back tears as he called for a minute of silence before every NFL game to honor the late Charlie Kirk, founder of the National Unity Foundation, who had passed away days earlier at a community event in Utah.
