Football fans are destroying Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and blaming him for costing CeeDee Lamb a touchdown during the team’s home game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Since AT&T Stadium opened in 2009, Jerry Jones has faced immense criticism for refusing to use curtains to block out the glaring sun that shines through the giant glass windows. The weird thing is that AT&T Stadium actually has blackout curtains, but Jones refuses to put them up during Cowboys games.
Well, Jones’ me-first mentality proved costly during the Cowboys-Eagles game on Sunday. Lamb couldn’t locate the ball on what should have been an easy touchdown…because of the blaring sunlight that got in his eyes:

At this point, the joke just writes itself.
Jerry Jones Is The Cowboys’ Problem
It’s unfair to blame the players for the Cowboys’ on-field struggles this year. Even Mike McCarthy and the coaching staff can only take so much heat, because they’re not the ones who built this roster.
Jones said he was going “all-in” back in January. He made zero moves to make the Cowboys better, and now he’s paying the price. Costing Lamb a touchdown because of his stubbornness is just the cherry on top of a dismal 2024 season in Dallas.
