CeeDee Lamb expressed his frustration after losing a ball in the sun during a critical play in the game against Philadelphia. The incident occurred in the first half and prevented Dallas from scoring a crucial touchdown. Lamb, the All-Pro receiver, was visibly upset about the sun glare affecting his ability to make the catch.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was not pleased with the focus on the sun glare issue, especially considering the state-of-the-art design of AT&T Stadium. The stadium’s unique east-west alignment causes sunlight to shine through the windows on the west side during afternoon games, creating visibility challenges for players.
Lamb suggested putting up curtains to mitigate the sun glare issue, a solution that has been proposed before but rejected by Jones. The billionaire owner adamantly dismissed the idea of curtains and expressed frustration at the suggestion of rebuilding the stadium to address the problem.
Despite the ongoing debate about sun glare, the Cowboys are facing a string of losses, including a recent four-game losing streak. The team’s struggles continued with a 34-6 loss to Philadelphia, highlighting the need for improvement in various areas.
Quarterback Dak Prescott’s potential season-ending surgery adds to the team’s challenges, as they prepare to face the New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day. Head coach Mike McCarthy emphasized the importance of reducing turnovers to secure victories, regardless of external factors like sun glare.
While the sun glare issue remains a point of contention, the Cowboys are focused on addressing their performance on the field and overcoming obstacles to achieve success. The upcoming games will test their resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks, with the hope of turning the season around.
