CeeDee Lamb has urged Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys organization to address a long-standing issue at AT&T Stadium following their embarrassing 34-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. In the game, Lamb was unable to catch a pass in the back of the end zone due to being blinded by the sun coming through the stadium’s large glass windows. The incident highlighted an ongoing problem that has plagued the Cowboys’ home games since the stadium opened in 2009.
The issue centers around the stadium’s massive glass windows on the south and west sides, which allow sunlight to flood the field during early afternoon games. This has made it difficult for players on both teams to see the ball, especially when the sun shines directly onto the field. In the Eagles game, the sun caused Lamb to lose track of the pass, leading to a missed opportunity in a critical moment of the game.
While this problem has been a known issue for years, it has gained more attention recently due to its recurring impact on gameplay. Fans and critics have voiced frustration with the lack of action from Cowboys’ ownership, urging them to find a solution. Lamb, visibly frustrated by the loss and the sun interference, has directly called for a change, advocating for the installation of a curtain to block the sunlight and improve visibility for players.
When asked if he would bring the issue up with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Lamb responded confidently, “Yes. 1,000 percent.” His frustration was clear, as he mentioned that the media was already raising the point on his behalf, implying that action should have been taken long ago. Lamb’s comments reflect a broader sentiment among both players and fans, who feel that this issue has gone unresolved for too long.
Cowboys backup quarterback Cooper Rush also acknowledged the impact of the sun on the game, stating that he had thrown the pass to Lamb without realizing the sunlight had affected his visibility. “I didn’t see what happened,” Rush said, explaining that he was hit while throwing the ball. While the missed pass wasn’t the sole factor in the Cowboys’ lopsided loss, it underscored the need for changes at AT&T Stadium to prevent such distractions in the
future.
