CeeDee Lamb says the sunlight problem inside AT&T Stadium may finally be getting a fix.
The Cowboys receiver, who has dealt with the glare firsthand, said on the Downs 2 Business podcast with teammate Caleb Downs that tint could be coming to the stadium’s glass windows.
"I think they're gonna put some tint," Lamb said. "I think they're gonna put tent on the glass now. So we'll see."
It would be a notable step for an issue Dallas fans have been talking about for years, especially with three late-window home kickoffs on the schedule this season. Lamb’s comments also line up with what Jerry Jones said in August, when the Cowboys owner said he was open to making changes.
"As we look at it, I like some of the effects of the tinting and so we're giving that a thought,"Jones told FOX 4.
Lamb didn’t just mention the problem in passing. He made sure Downs understood exactly what the sunlight can do late in the day at AT&T Stadium.
"I'm gonna tell you this, bro. That far end zone, it cost me a touchdown. Let's say that," Lamb said.
The play he was talking about likely came in Week 10 of the 2024 season, when Dallas lost 34-6 at home to the Philadelphia Eagles. Lamb was open in the back of the end zone, Cooper Rush delivered the throw, and the sunlight got in the way. The pass sailed past Lamb, and he immediately pointed to his eyes afterward.
"I'm telling you that 3:25 kickoff, when it gets around that second quarter, yeah, you'll see," Lamb told Downs.
Downs got a taste of it during the preseason, when he was on the field before kickoff and noticed the issue for himself.
"I was catching some balls pregame because I was just throwing to the guys, and I'm like, this cannot be every game. It's bad," Downs said of the sunlight.
Whether Lamb has a say in the final decision or not, his warning carries weight. If Dallas wants AT&T Stadium to keep its polished image without costing the team in a key moment, the window glare is the kind of problem that can’t be ignored for much longer.
The Cowboys’ home opener is set for Week 2 against the Washington Commanders at 3:25 p.m. CT, so the timing of any fix matters. If the tint isn’t in place by then, the sunlight could be back in the spotlight.

Cowboys Fans Have A New Overshown Question After That Giants Opener
The Cowboys season opener against the Giants brought an immediate jolt when New York hit the end zone early, but the bigger Dallas talking point may have come on defense. DeMarvion Overshown, back healthy after a tough run of knee injuries, is supposed to be a key piece in the Cowboys scheme, the kind of linebacker whose speed and urgency can change a game in a hurry.
Instead, one of the first moments fans latched onto was Overshowns late hit on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, a play that drew a penalty and is now under league review for a possible fine. For a player whose return already carries plenty of weight, the question in Dallas is no longer just how he fits into the defense, but how he balances that edge without giving away costly yards in the process.

Cowboys Loss Exposed The Same Problems Fans Feared Most
The Cowboys opened the season with a loss to the Giants that did little to quiet the doubts hanging over the team after an offseason of change. Dallas fell 28-20 and, for long stretches, looked familiar in all the wrong ways as the defense again had trouble getting off the field and the offense spent too much time chasing the game.
New York converted 10 of 11 third downs, a number that says plenty about how often Dallas let manageable moments turn into drive-sustaining ones. Add in penalties, poor tackling, an interception and dropped passes, and the afternoon became less about one bad break than a collection of problems fans had been warning about before kickoff.

Cowboys Let A Winnable Night In New York Slip Away Fast
For a Dallas team that had a chance to turn a tense Sunday night into something far more manageable, the sequence before halftime was the kind of swing that lingers. The Cowboys got a fumble recovery near the break and briefly had life against the Giants, only for Dak Prescott to throw an interception that helped flip the mood almost immediately.
New York answered with a quick touchdown drive before halftime and never let the Cowboys get back on even footing. From there, Dallas spent the second half chasing the game instead of controlling it, and the Giants stayed in front all the way to a 28-20 finish. [Read more 🡒]
