### Cowboys' 34-6 Loss to Eagles Reignites Debate Over Sunlight Issue at AT&T Stadium

In the wake of the Dallas Cowboys' significant 34-6 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, the controversial issue of sunlight inside AT&T Stadium has once again come to the forefront. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas' All-Pro receiver, expressed frustration after losing sight of the ball in the sun during a crucial play, further complicating a rough season for the team.

The incident occurred in the second quarter when Lamb, open on a crossing route in the end zone, was unable to track a pass from quarterback Cooper Rush due to the glaring sunlight. This missed opportunity prevented the Cowboys from scoring a go-ahead touchdown, adding to the frustration in what has become a challenging season. The Cowboys have now dropped to a 3-6 record, suffering their fourth consecutive loss at home.

Owner and General Manager Jerry Jones remains staunchly opposed to installing curtains or making any adjustments to the stadium’s design. The $1.2 billion stadium features glass doors on either end and an unusual east-west alignment, causing sunlight to pour onto the field during afternoon games. Despite repeated suggestions to address the issue, Jones has consistently rejected such changes. His reaction postgame was no different.

"By the way, we know where the sun is going to be when we flip the coin," Jones remarked. "Let's just tear the damn stadium down and build another one. Are you kidding me?"

Lamb, who recently ended a preseason holdout by signing a $136 million, four-year contract extension, didn’t hide his displeasure with the sun’s impact on gameplay. "I couldn't see the ball. Couldn't see the ball, at all. The sun," he said, also backing the idea of installing curtains "One thousand percent."

The Cowboys are grappling with deeper concerns than just the sunlight, as quarterback Dak Prescott is expected to require season-ending surgery for a torn hamstring. The team has also been plagued by turnovers, with five in each of their last two home losses. Head coach Mike McCarthy underscored this issue bluntly, "You can't win games turning the ball over five times. I don't give a (expletive) who lines up."

As the spotlight remains on the Cowboys, they must confront not just the external challenges like sunlight but also their internal performance issues. The next potential clash with the sunlight will be on Thanksgiving Day against the New York Giants, a game that could further test the patience of both players and fans.
