Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Defends Stadium Design

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took a firm stance on the controversial issue of sunlight affecting gameplay in AT&T Stadium following the team's disheartening 34-6 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles.

CeeDee Lamb's Frustration with Sun's Glare

Following the loss, Cowboys star receiver CeeDee Lamb expressed his frustrations about the sun's glare impacting his ability to see the ball during a critical moment in the first half. "I couldn’t see the ball!" he lamented, recalling a missed opportunity in the end zone while trying to connect with quarterback Cooper Rush.

Jerry Jones Dismisses Curtain Proposal

In response to the suggestion that the Cowboys could benefit from installing curtains in the stadium, Jones was quick to dismiss the idea. "By the way, we know where the sun is going to be when we decide to flip the coin," he noted, emphasizing that the positioning of the sun should have been anticipated. Jones added, "Well let’s tear the damn stadium down and build another one? Are you kidding me?" His tone reflected a mix of sarcasm and frustration as he defended the iconic venue, which opened in 2009 and is uniquely oriented from east to west.

Lamb Supports the Addition of Curtains

Although Lamb is "one thousand percent" in favor of adding curtains to reduce the glare, Jones's rebuttal suggests a reluctance to deviate from the stadium's design and an effort to focus on finding solutions on the field rather than off it.

Cowboys' Struggling Season

In what has become a worrying trend, the Cowboys have now lost four consecutive games, sinking their record to 3-6, which has cast doubt over their playoff aspirations. Quarterback Cooper Rush, filling in for the injured Dak Prescott, struggled throughout the game, completing only 13 of 23 passes for a mere 45 yards before being replaced by former first-round pick Trey Lance.

Upcoming Game Against Houston Texans

Fans are eagerly anticipating the Cowboys' next matchup, set for primetime on November 18 against the Houston Texans, as they look to turn their fortunes around under the bright lights of "Monday Night Football." Can the Cowboys overcome their recent slump? Only time will tell.
