CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys’ standout wide receiver, recently expressed his frustration regarding the visibility issues at AT&T Stadium, particularly during the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys suffered a disappointing 34-6 defeat, but Lamb’s comments about the stadium’s lighting conditions have sparked a conversation about potential improvements.
During the first half, with the Cowboys trailing 7-3, they found themselves in a prime scoring position at the Eagles’ 6-yard line. Micah Parsons had just made a crucial play, strip-sacking quarterback Jalen Hurts. On second-and-goal, Cooper Rush, stepping in for the injured Dak Prescott, aimed for Lamb in the end zone, a moment that seemed destined for a touchdown.
However, Lamb lost sight of the ball due to the sunlight streaming through the stadium’s roof, resulting in a missed opportunity. Instead of a touchdown, the Cowboys settled for a field goal, marking the only points they would score that day.
Postgame, Lamb admitted he “couldn’t see the ball at all” and advocated for the installation of curtains to mitigate such issues. He noted that AT&T Stadium already employs blackout curtains for other events, such as concerts and wrestling matches, making his suggestion seem reasonable.
However, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones dismissed the idea, responding with sarcasm, “Well, let’s tear the damn stadium, build another one. Are you kidding me?” This exchange highlights the differing perspectives within the organization regarding how to address the challenges faced during games.
When questioned about discussing his concerns with Jones, Lamb humorously remarked, “I mean, y’all are doing my job right now,” showcasing a mix of frustration and acceptance of the situation.
With this loss, the Cowboys dropped to a disappointing 3-6 record, remaining winless at home this season. While curtains may not resolve all their issues, including Prescott’s likely absence for the remainder of the season and the underwhelming performance of Rush and Trey Lance, they could at least help in securing critical touchdowns in future matchups against rivals.
