Jerry Jones didn't like being questioned about the sun impacting a game his Dallas Cowboys played this weekend. Jones snapped at reporters following their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles when they brought up a botched play involving CeeDee Lamb.

The Dallas wideout was unable to see the ball when targeted in the end zone by quarterback Cooper Rush. The incompletion forced the Cowboys to kick a field goal, making it a 7-6 game instead of giving the home team the win.

While Jones was defiant when it came to the glare — which seems to be an issue during every game at AT&T Stadium — Lamb is singing a different tune. When asked if he was in favor of curtains being put up, Lamb said he was "one thousand percent" on board.

CeeDee Lamb on the attempted TD pass from Cooper Rush that sailed past him in the end zone in a sun spot:

“I couldn’t see the ball. Couldn’t see the ball, at all. The sun.”

In favor of curtains?

“Yes. One thousand percent.”#Cowboys

Considering Lamb actually plays the game, his opinion should matter much more than Jones. Of course, the owner won't care, but if the players are saying it's an issue — it's an issue.

Lamb had a rough outing with Cooper Rush and Trey Lance replacing Dak Prescott. He was targetd 10 times, making six receptions for just 21 yards.

The 3.5 yard per reception average had to be frustrating for Lamb, but a touchdown catch might have made it easier to swallow.
