With the team now 0-4 on the season playing at AT&T Stadium, many fans are starting to point fingers. That is to say, the one who is seemingly taking most of the blame is none other than team owner Jerry Jones.
During the game, there was one play in particular where star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was seen open in the end zone, however, he appeared to lose sight of the ball because of the sunlight.

In the postgame interviews, Jones fielded questions from reporters, who mostly asked questions about the sun.
And Jones got pretty defensive.
"By the way, we know where the sun is going to be when we decide to flip the coin or not," Jones said. "We do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium."
One reporter asked why not put up curtains to block the sunshine from affecting the players' vision.
And Jerry didn't like this suggestion too much.
"Well let's tear the damn stadium down and build another one? Are you kidding me? Everybody has got the same thing. Every team that comes in here has the same issues. I'm saying, the world knows where the sun is. You get to know that almost a year in advance. Someone asked me about the sun. What about the sun? Where's the moon?"
Jerry Jones on if AT&T Stadium should consider putting curtains in the stadium:

All in all, even Lamb admitted that curtains should be installed, as the sunlight played a role in not converting a touchdown opportunity.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb on the sun at AT&T Stadium: "I couldn't see the ball. I couldn't see the ball, at all. The sun."
Is he in favor of curtains?
Lamb: "Yes. One thousand percent."
Did you talk to Jerry Jones about that?

The sun may have indeed played a factor as the Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush only had 45 passing yards on the night.
That is to say, in view of the rest of their season, the Cowboys may be one or two more losses away from being out of the playoff race completely. And with their starting star $240 million quarterback Dak Prescott set to miss the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury, they are certainly already in panic mode.
