In the second quarter, backup quarterback Cooper Rush threw a direct pass to the Dallas Cowboys’s star receiver, CeeDee Lamb. This catch was easy as pie for the 25-year-old. However, Lamb missed it. Why? Because of the glaring light of the sun. As obvious, he complained about it, demanding owner Jerry Jones to install curtains at AT&T Stadium.

But it seems that this $2.1 billion demand was too much he asked for, as Jones decided to shut it down. He threw CeeDee Lamb’s suggestion out of the gridiron by saying, “Of all the things that we need to improve, that is way down the list of improvement. That stadium was built to feel like you’re outdoors.” Now this has created a reported rift between the players and the owner.

The recent one to comment on the matter and explain the real problem to Jerry Jones is the Cowboys’s star receiver, Jalen Tolbert. According to NFL writer Clarence Hill Jr. on X, “Sun talk at AT&T Stadium won’t die in the Cowboys locker room.” He said this because Tolbert recently expressed, “Sometimes you see the sun more than the football.”

It was clear with this statement that Jalen Tolbert is clapping back at the Cowboys’s owner, Jerry Jones. But the question is will this bother the 82-year-old businessman? Maybe not! This is because earlier when CeeDee Lamb made his request of blocking the sun at the stadium, Jones straightaway made a sarcastic comment. He said, “By the way, we know where the sun is going to be when we flip the coin, so we do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium. Let’s just tear the damn stadium down and build another one. Are you kidding me?” Not only that!

Jerry Jones even further added that “every team that comes in here has the same issues.” Hence, on choosing to not make any changes in the stadium, the LA-born explained his stance: “Every venue has certain things that at certain ways and times can create an advantage. That really goes under the category of home-field advantage. It should be an advantage to the home team. … It has been an advantage for us to know where the sun is. I don’t want to change that.”

So, now Jerry Jones is not interested in making any changes to the stadium. And subsequently, the players continue to express their demands constantly. Earlier it was Lamb, now it is Tolbert. Probably, they are hoping that Jones might change his mind in the future. Until then, players have no option left besides following Jake Ferguson’s solution.

What’s Jake Ferguson’s solution after Jerry Jones’s rejection?

A couple of days ago, NFL insider Tom Pelissero met the Cowboys’s star tight end, Jake Ferguson to talk about the Sun issue and their demands. And guess what? The TE gave a hilarious response after CeeDee Lamb’s incident. Pelissero, who recently appeared at the
The Rich Eisen Show stated that Ferguson informed him that he caught the football under the glaring Texas sun with the help of a formula. What is it?

Well, that is, in Jake Ferguson’s words, “catching the black spot.” Yes! According to the athlete, when the eyes are blinded by the sun, all you need to do is follow a formula for catching the black spot – the football. At least, that’s the way he does in such games!

So, after Jerry Jones’s rejection, the players in America’s team seem to have only that option left.
