The Cowboys got a huge win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and while Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense put up big numbers in the 40-34 victory, there was one play that they’d probably want back.
Also, they probably wish that their home stadium had some shades to block the sun.
What in the world am I talking about? Well, late in the second quarter Prescott through a corner fade in the end zone to Michael Gallup. The Cowboys WR couldn’t come down with the ball, probably because the sun was right in his eyes. Seriously, how does Jerry’s World still have this problem with the sun coming through?
Check this out:

As you can see in this photo, the sun comes through the open end of the stadium, which is just some really bad design work.
That’s far from ideal. The Cowboys ended up settling for a field goal on that drive but a touchdown would have been a lot better.
Timing is everything. That corner of the endzone where Michael Gallup couldn't see the football because of the sun… is now entirely shaded, just a few short minutes later.

Kellen Moore dialed up an end zone fade to Michael Gallup in the only spot in AT&T Stadium where the sun would be in his eyes.

Why do the #Cowboys run a third-down fade into the corner of the end zone where Michael Gallup is going to be looking directly into the sun?

Man Jerry needs to add curtains cause that sun glare only hurts the cowboys

The sun affects the cowboys and the cowboys only. Worst stadium design in the nfl

How many times do the Cowboys have to be negatively affected by the sun before Jerry installs curtains??

Whoever designed AT&T Stadium is a total dumbass. Imagine being a player or a fan staring into the sun? #Cowboys

The sun beaming through the stadium windows in big games to constantly mess with the Cowboys is a beautiful metaphor.
