The sunlight incidence at AT&T Stadium continues to cause a stir. Star receiver CeeDee Lamb complained after a missed touchdown pass and demanded action. Owner Jerry Jones then blew his top.

With 6:34 left in the game, the Dallas Cowboys went under in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles at home. In addition to the threat of star quarterback Dak Prescott missing the rest of the season, the playoffs are already out of reach at 3-6. But the problems don’t stop there.

In addition to the team’s poor performance, the game also drew criticism of AT&T Stadium. CeeDee Lamb, the team’s star wide receiver, looked up at the sun while running a crossing route in the end zone in the second quarter. Due to the light coming into the stadium, he couldn’t see a throw from backup quarterback Cooper Rush properly and missed what he thought was an almost certain touchdown.

After the play, the 25-year-old pointed to his eyes and made similar gestures on the sidelines. After the game, Lamb then verbally added, “I couldn’t see the ball, I couldn’t see the ball at all. The sun.”

When asked whether the Cowboys should install curtains on the stadium windows against the massive light falling on the field, Lamb said, “Yes, a thousand percent.”

And that’s not all. When asked by another reporter whether the suggestion should be made to owner Jerry Jones, the classy passer receiver replied unequivocally: “I mean, you’re doing my job for me right now.”

Installing curtains in the stadium to keep the sun out has been suggested many times before, but Jones had always categorically ruled it out.

The 82-year-old angrily rejected the suggestion again after the defeat to the Eagles, even raising the issue himself after the game without being asked.

“By the way, we know where the sun will be when we flip the coin, so we also know where the damn sun will be in our own stadium,” the franchise owner ranted. “Let’s just tear down the damn stadium and build a new one. Are you kidding me?”

While Jones’ response could be interpreted as criticism of the controversial head coach Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys boss emphasized that it was not. “Every team that comes here has the same problems. They know where the sun will be. Every team has the same problems.”

And further: “I’m not saying it’s because of McCarthy. I’m just saying that the world knows where the sun is.

As usual, Jones is highly sensitive to criticism of the $1.2 billion stadium with its retractable roof and glass doors and windows on both sides On a clear day, the sun shines through the windows on the west side during the first half of games that start in the afternoon.UVX
