ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had a chance to catch a touchdown pass in the first half of the team’s home game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

But the sun’s bright glare from the west end zone got in the way and seemed to cause Lamb to miss the ball. He even gestured as much — pointing to his eyes with both hands — after the pass from Cooper Rush flew by him.

The sun coming in through the AT&T Stadium windows has been causing problems for the Cowboys (and opponents ) since it opened. The most notable time was in 2022, when Dallas receiver Cedrick Wilson lost a ball in the bright glare during the Cowboys’ 23-17 wildcard loss to the San Francisco 49ers. That same year, Michael Gallup was hindered by the sun during a Christmas Eve game against the Eagles.

Former Cowboys players like Dez Byrant have complained about playing in the sunligh, saying it does have an impact on players.

However, team owner Jerry Jones said he wasn’t worried about how sunlight was impacting his players in an interview in 2022 saying he had bigger issues to worry about.
