The Dallas Cowboys struggled offensively in their recent game against the Philadelphia Eagles, with one particularly frustrating moment leaving fans outraged. During a critical play, backup quarterback Cooper Rush threw a pass toward wide receiver CeeDee Lamb in the end zone. Lamb, however, didn’t react to the ball, later signaling that he hadn’t seen it due to glaring sunlight streaming through AT&T Stadium’s windows.
This isn’t a new complaint. The sun shining into the Cowboys’ domed stadium has affected players before, but the issue persists as team owner Jerry Jones continues to leave the retractable shades open during games. As a result, sunlight can directly interfere with visibility on the field, especially during crucial moments.
Fans immediately voiced their frustration on social media, many holding Jones accountable for failing to address this long-standing problem. Despite numerous calls to keep the curtains closed, the sunlight’s interference remains an issue that some fans argue could easily be fixed.

In a game that was already challenging for the Cowboys, especially with Rush filling in for an injured Dak Prescott, the missed touchdown opportunity due to sunlight only added to the team’s woes. This incident has reignited debates about whether AT&T Stadium’s architectural quirks are hindering the Cowboys’ chances during crucial plays.\
CeeDee Lamb literally lost the ball on what could have been a touchdown for the Dallas Cowboys because he was staring into this.

To preemptively answer your #Cowboys question, America: Yes, Jerry Jones’ AT&T Stadium has window curtains available. pic.twitter.com/JOUGA4mIqY

I think it’s funny that Jerry Jones built a billion dollar stadium that blinds the players when it’s sunny out. Lol.
