We've been here before with AT&T Stadium and the fact is: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones scoffed at the idea of the sun affecting the team because of the giant windows at his stadium that let afternoon light in.

But we heard CeeDee Lamb say he couldn't see a Cooper Rush throw to the end zone because of the glare, and we've seen it affect games before.

Sure, it makes for some awe-inspiring photos, but Jerry: it's time to put the curtains up during games. Enough already.

These photos should prove the point and end the debate before it begins:
