ARLINGTON, Texas — For Cowboys fans, the Sun has struck again.
Dallas wide receiver CeeDee Lamb ran across the end zone against the Eagles, wide-open. The pass is released, and Lamb...misses?
Lamb doesn't often miss wide-open, well-placed passes, but this time was different. This time, the Eagles had some extra help from over 92 million miles away. The sun caused Lamb to miss, clear as day.
When asked about the play, Lamb said he "couldn't see the ball" and cited the sun as the culprit, or more aptly, the lack of curtains in AT&T Stadium. The stadium has used curtains in the past to shield concerts and other events from the blinding setting, but never for a Cowboys game.
A reporter asked Lamb if he'd be supportive of curtains going up during games.
"Yes, 1,000%."
Then, Lamb was asked if he'd tell Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who has opposed the idea in the past.
"I mean, y'all are doing my job right now," Lamb responded.
The sun is not wholly responsible for the Cowboys Sunday loss to the Philadelphia Eagles but it did play a part. As for CeeDee Lamb, it seems he's a part of the pro-curtain coalition.
