He grew up in a New York sports-heavy region in Connecticut and earned his journalism degree at the University of Rhode Island. His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Dallas Cowboys</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Players craft their legacies and earn their paychecks based on how they perform during the big moments, but respect can be truly forged by how they carry themselves in the seemingly insignificant ones. Just hours after the Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from playoff contention, a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-ceedee-lamb-shares-eye-opening-admission-amid-career-worst-stat">banged-up CeeDee Lamb</a> embodied remarkable persistence and leadership.</p><p>The star wide receiver pushed through his lingering shoulder injury and continued to take the field with his teammates, finishing with seven receptions for 105 yards in Sunday’s riveting <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-wild-ending-vs-buccaneers-sparks-wild-reactions">26-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>. Lamb inflicted nearly all of his damage in the first half, but <a href="https://x.com/jonmachota/status/1871065608072167558" rel="noopener">his insistence to gut out</a> the obvious pain will make fans even prouder to wear his No. 88 jersey.</p><p>“My shoulder is outta whack, I’m not gonna even lie to you,” the 2023 All-Pro told the media, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. “I’m just out there battling and doing what I do. It’s not fun… I love this game that much. I’m literally willing to put my body out there on the line for my guys.”</p><h2><b>CeeDee Lamb believes his dedication should be unquestioned</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Cowboys-WR-CeeDee-Lamb-works-his-way-down-the-field.jpg"><figcaption>Tim Heitman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>A wide receiver’s innate and intense desire to have the ball in his hands has led to the term “diva” being frequently used to describe the position. Lamb’s own heated sideline exchanges have convinced many people that he is deserving of that label, but through his fierce commitment to the 7-8 Cowboys, the 25-year-old is showing the public what genuinely fuels him on the gridiron.</p><p>Although he values the green like everyone else, his competitive fire burned blindingly bright in AT&amp;T Stadium in Week 16.</p><p>“I feel like now I’ve kinda went way past the narrative of the money situation,” CeeDee Lamb said, referencing the perception many had of him during his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-emmitt-smith-unacceptable-ceedee-lamb-contract-strategy">lengthy contract holdout</a>. “I do it for the money, of course, but it’s way more than that. … I’m living my dream. For anyone that’s thinking that I’m (only) playing for the money is kind of insane.”</p><h2><b>Cowboys are showing their passion</b></h2><p>The No. 17 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft will now force fans to think twice when doubting his devotion to the Dallas locker room. He has cleared the obligatory top receiver benchmarks, accruing 101 catches and 1,194 yards in 15 games, but his tenacity is making just as loud of a statement.</p><p>The Cowboys are in a tough spot entering the offseason, as they fall alarmingly far from the NFL’s upper echelon. Though, on the heels of a hard-fought victory against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers, this franchise is arguably exhibiting the very traits it has been accused of lacking in recent years. In a twist of irony, is it possible that America’s Team is actually turning a corner when the stakes are at their lowest?</p><p>Fans do not care how a breakthrough happens. They will celebrate this supposedly “meaningless” outcome if the Cowboys evolve next season. And they will extol Lamb as a catalyst of change.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both teams are on track to enter the game at near full strength, with CeeDee Lamb, Ja’Marr Chase and Jake Ferguson all cleared to play.</p><p>The Cowboys <a href="https://www.nfl.com/injuries/" rel="noopener">removed both</a> Ferguson and Lamb from their weekly injury report on Saturday. Their presence in the lineup puts quarterback Cooper Rush on track to play with his full arsenal of weapons for the first time since Week 12. Dallas still lists left tackle Tyler Guyton as questionable and has already ruled guard Zack Martin out for the game.</p><p>While Ferguson sat out Week 13 with a concussion, Lamb has yet to miss a game in 2024 despite being a mainstay on the team’s injury report. The star slot receiver has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past few weeks but has played in over 80 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in all but four games.</p><p>Ferguson returning to the lineup immediately lifts the passing game by giving Rush his top two options back. In Ferguson’s absence, second-year reserve Luke Schoonmaker has filled in admirably, recording five catches against the New York Giants in Week 13.</p><h2><b>Cowboys look to continue momentum in Week 14</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/CeeDee-Lamb.jpg"><figcaption>Robert Deutsch-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 2024 campaign has been nothing short of a disappointment for the Cowboys but entering Week 14, Dallas will look to build on their mini two-game win streak. The team’s second win of the year over the Giants on Thanksgiving moved them to 5-7 on the year.</p><p>On paper, the Bengals are a step behind the Cowboys at 4-8 and bring a three-game losing streak into the matchup. However, Dallas has not won more than two consecutive games in 2024. Two of the Cowboys’ five wins are also over the league-worst Giants, undeniably inflating their record.</p><p>Week 14 will be the fifth straight start for Rush since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-dallas-officially-places-dak-prescott-ir-season-ending-injury">Dak Prescott went down with a hamstring injury</a> in Week 9. Rush has gone 2-2 thus far, beating the Giants and Washington Commanders but losing his first two starts against the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans.</p><p>Despite their similar records, the Bengals have undeniably faced a tougher schedule through 12 games. Cincinnati owns losses to the Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Chargers and Eagles, all of whom are among the best teams in the league.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-mike-mccarthy-brutally-honest-first-home-win-334-days">Cowboys got their first home win of the season</a> last Thursday – it was the team’s first victory in Dallas since Week 17 of 2023. Unfortunately, shortly after the game, it was announced that the Cowboys lost Zack Martin to a season-ending ankle injury.</p><p>The 11th-year veteran will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-lose-zack-martin-to-season-ending-ankle-injury">undergo surgery on his right ankle</a> and miss the remainder of the season. With Martin set to hit free agency in 2025, his legendary Cowboys career could be over. The gravity of the situation was not lost on teammate CeeDee Lamb, who <a href="https://x.com/JonahJavad/status/1864778263676989542" rel="noopener">expressed his love</a> for Martin.</p><p>“As far as leading and teaching me how to lead and [teaching] me how to be a pro, I appreciate him for that. Just being a brother for me. That’s my guy,” Lamb said per Jonah Javad on X. “If it’s the end, I appreciate it. If not, I love it,” he added.</p><p>The Cowboys selected Martin with the 16th overall pick in the 2014 draft out of Notre Dame. He became the team’s starting right guard in his first season, making the Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro as a rookie.</p><h2><b>CeeDee Lamb shows appreciation for Cowboys’ legend Zack Martin</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Martin-and-Lamb.jpg"><figcaption>Matthew Emmons-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The veteran lineman reached the Pro Bowl nine times in his career and has been a first-team All-Pro seven times in 11 seasons. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-zack-martin-tyler-smith-go-down-with-injuries-vs-texans">Martin injured his ankle against the Houston Texans</a> in Week 11 and has been sidelined by the ailment since. On Thursday, Martin decided to undergo surgery to repair his damaged ankle.</p><p>The 34-year-old lineman entered the 2024 campaign <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-zack-martin-gets-real-on-retirement-with-11th-season-looming">with retirement on his mind</a>. Now, with his season cut short by injury, there’s a very real chance that Cowboys fans have seen the last of Martin. Even Dallas head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-mike-mccarthy-gets-real-potential-zack-martin-retirement-injury-update">Mike McCarthy acknowledged that Martin’s career could be over</a>.</p><p>If he does retire, Martin will go down as one of the most decorated Cowboys players in franchise history. And clearly, he’s had a meaningful impact on his teammates, as evidenced by Lamb’s testimonial.</p><p>Despite playing in all 12 games this season, it’s been a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ceedee-lamb-painfully-honest-2024-admission">grueling year for Lamb</a>. The wideout <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ceedee-lamb-injury-update-drop-giants-game">dropped multiple passes before injuring his shoulder</a> in Week 13’s win over the Giants. Still, the fifth-year pro has 79 receptions for 880 yards and four touchdowns on the year, putting him on pace for a fourth straight 1,000-yard season.</p><p>The Cowboys take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14.

After their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-most-blame-week-12-loss-cowboys">bonkers win over the Commanders last week</a>, they won their first home game of the season against the Giants on Thanksgiving. Cooper Rush continues to grow, Rico Dowdle was a star, and their defense dominated Drew Lock. The only negative was CeeDee Lamb, who had a few big drops and left the game with a shoulder injury. ESPN’s Todd Archer <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42670781/cowboys-beat-giants-first-home-win-nearly-year" rel="noopener">reported on the</a> injury after the game.</p><p>“Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb did not return after aggravating a right shoulder injury in the third quarter,” Archer reported. “He dropped three passes in the game after dropping just four in the first 11 games of the season. Lamb suffered a sprained AC joint in the Nov. 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons but has not missed a game despite saying Tuesday this is the most beaten up physically he has been in his career.”</p><p>The Cowboys now have a mini-bye before their next game against the Bengals. Head coach Mike McCarthy hopes Lamb will be good to go next Monday. “The rest might be the most important part of the schedule,” McCarthy said. “If you just look at what we’ve been dealing with, rest and recovery will really help us.”</p><h2><b>The Cowboys need CeeDee Lamb to continue their hot stretch </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Ceedee-Lamb-with-Dallas-Cowboys-1.jpg"><figcaption>Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Cowboys have won two consecutive games and kept their season loosely alive heading into December. At 5-7, they have very little chance of making the postseason. But with a rejuvenated offense and an easy schedule, they could make a run. To do so, they need CeeDee Lamb to be himself.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-cowboys-ceedee-lamb-feeling-good-despite-shoulder-injury">Lamb’s AC joint injury</a> has hurt his production for the better part of a month. He has not had 100 receiving yards or scored a touchdown since Week 8. Some of that has come without Dak Prescott, which certainly hurts, but Cooper Rush has been serviceable the past two weeks.</p><p>With an extra day before Monday’s game against the Bengals, CeeDee Lamb should be healthier at the very least. The Cowboys must win that game to be a loose part of the NFC playoff conversation. Because of the greatness of the NFC North, there is really one Wild Card spot for grabs in the conference.</p><p>The Cowboys are likely out of contention for that spot but if Cooper Rush continues to play well, anything can happen. He needs to create some chemistry with CeeDee Lamb for there to even be a chance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Thanksgiving showdown involves two historic rivals that have had very disappointing seasons.

The second-year corner, a 2023 first-round pick out of Maryland, has struggled with form at specific points during the season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-deonte-banks-benching-culmination-multiple-effort-transgressions">Banks, at one point, was benched against the Pittsburgh Steelers</a> on Monday Night Football due to issues with his effort. One instance that drew a lot of criticism was <a href="https://x.com/rjochoa/status/1841138513527652820?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1841138513527652820%7Ctwgr%5Ed64700dabb6276c0ad7960b342389427364539a6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fathlonsports.com%2Fnfl%2Fgiants-country%2Fnew-york-giants-jerome-henderson-calls-out-deonte-banks-hustling-dallas-cowboys-ceedee-lamb-touchdown" rel="noopener">a clip showing</a> Banks getting by CeeDee Lamb for a 55-yard touchdown.</p><p>Despite the criticism, Banks is still a vital player on the Giants’ defense. Not having him for Thursday afternoon is another blow to a franchise that really doesn’t need any more bad news at the moment.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The teams scored a combined 41 fourth quarter points and the Cowboys survived a last-second surge by Washington to get the victory and snap a five-game losing streak. Despite dealing with back and foot injuries, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ceedee-lamb-expected-play-vs-commanders">CeeDee Lamb suited up for the contest</a> and produced a team-high 10 receptions for 67 yards.</p><p>After contributing to a memorable upset win over a division rival, Lamb acknowledged <a href="https://x.com/jonmachota/status/1861548519955320939" rel="noopener">the toll</a> this season has taken. “This is definitely one of the toughest years for me, body-wise. But that ain’t stopping nothing. That’s for sure,” Lamb said per The Athletic’s Jon Machota on X.</p><p>“I’m banged up, I’m not even going to lie to you… I’m willing to do whatever, to go out there and do whatever to have my presence felt… I’m all for the team winning, as you can tell,” Lamb added.</p><p>In <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ceedee-lamb-trending-towards-playing-week-11-vs-texans">Week 11 Lamb was a game-time decision</a> for the Cowboys’ Monday night matchup against the Houston Texans. The All-Pro wideout was able to take the field and grabbed eight receptions for 93 yards but Dallas got eviscerated by the Texans. The humiliating 34-10 blowout was the Cowboys’ fifth straight loss at home, marking the first time the franchise <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-dallas-pulls-off-feat-not-done-1989">started the season 0-5 in Dallas since 1989</a>.</p><h2><b>CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys have endured a difficult season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/CeeDee-Lamb_62b400.jpg"><figcaption>Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite being banged up for several weeks, Lamb has yet to miss a game this season. The Cowboys’ leading WR has 77 catches for 841 yards and four touchdowns on the year. To say he’s important to Dallas’ offense is an understatement as Lamb has 431 more yards than the Cowboys’ second-leading wideout Jalen Tolbert. The fifth-year veteran has twice as many receptions and yards as Tolbert through 11 games.</p><p>However, Lamb is apparently not valuable enough for Jerry Jones to consider using curtains to block the sun that streams into AT&amp;T stadium. After Lamb dropped an easy touchdown when he was blinded by the glare, the receiver suggested using curtains. But Jones shut that down with a bizarre but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-jerry-jones-doubles-down-on-anti-curtains-stance">firm anti-curtain tirade</a>.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-shannon-sharpe-blasts-ceedee-lamb-trevon-diggs-club-appearance">Lamb did draw some criticism</a> from talking head Shannon Sharpe after the three-time Pro Bowler was seen filming a music video in a nightclub with Trevon Diggs. The incident occurred after the Cowboys were roughed up by the Texans, a game that Lamb nearly missed due to injury.</p><p>Dallas will host the 2-9 New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-thanksgiving-history-record-stats-highlights-playing-on-holiday">Cowboys have played on the holiday</a> nearly every year since 1966.

I heard what Micah said.</p><p>“But my grandmother used to always tell my brother and me, ‘I see better than I hear. I heard what y’all told me, but I know I see that trash still in the corner when I told you to take it out.’”</p><p>Dallas is second-to-last in rushing yards (81.7) and points allowed per game (29.3).

Up until that last quarter, when they got that touchdown on defense, we only gave up those two touchdowns in that first quarter. Other than that, we gave up six points in the other two quarters.”</p><p>The Cowboys travel to Washington to face the Commanders on Sunday, November 24, at 1:00 p.m. EST.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On the Night Cap Podcast, Sharpe explained that the Cowboys stars’ <a href="https://youtu.be/hc0WXcePjuQ?list=PLq9fVK72pJBI20TkN1mfKOgwWGEIj7y0G&amp;t=2050" rel="noopener">actions speak louder than their words</a>.</p><p>“That’s why your Cowboys suck because two of your best players, this is what they’re doing,” Sharpe explained. “That shows you how much the game of football means to them. That told me everything I needed to know. All I have to do, I see better than I hear. Now I heard what CeeDee said, Trevon doesn’t do a whole lot of talking. I heard what Micah said.</p><p>“But my grandmother used to always tell my brother and me, ‘I see better than I hear. I heard what y’all told me but I know I see that trash still in the corner when I told you to take it out.'”</p><p>The Cowboys are in the thick of it. The 3-7 record isn’t appealing, despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-micah-parsons-trevon-diggs-bold-take-dallas-amid-terrible-season">Diggs thinking otherwise about the Cowboys</a> season. The nightclub appearance came at the end of their beating by the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. Both Diggs and Lamb were filming a music video in that club. Although there are seven more weeks in the season, it seems they’ve thrown the white flag.</p><h2><b>Shannon Sharpe sees the Cowboys’ mentality through CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs</b></h2><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-dallas-officially-places-dak-prescott-ir-season-ending-injury#:~:text=Prescott%20suffered%20a%20season%2Dending,end%20of%20their%202024%20campaign.">Cowboys lost quarterback Dak Prescott</a> to the season-ending injured reserve. The season went south as it was with Prescott, but after losing him, it’s taken a complete nosedive. They’ve lost their last five games and </p><p>“Everybody talks about winning but do you take the steps to win? Why are you partying? You got your a** kicked. I would’ve left the stadium with a bag over my head, ain’t no way y’all seeing me leave the stadium after I got beat like that! After I get beat like that every game!</p><p>“47-9, 37-10, 48-32, and you do this? It’s disrespectful, it’s disrespectful to the fans that pay their hard-earned money. But it couldn’t happen to a better franchise because all the owner does is run his mouth and talk about what they’re going to do.”</p><p>The carousel of uncertainties has circulated since Prescott went down. Head coach Mike McCarthy is in the final year of his contract. A 3-7 record isn’t what anyone envisioned, especially after the dominant 2023-24 regular season. A club appearance by Diggs and Lamb puts a bow on the chaos. Regardless, it seems Dallas has thrown in the towel on a disastrous season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They must find a way to revive their sputtering engine on Monday versus the incoming Houston Texans. Fortunately, amid late-week concern, CeeDee Lamb is currently <a href="https://x.com/SlaterNFL/status/1858560683668816299" rel="noopener">expected to take the field</a> for this must-win matchup.</p><p>“A team source tells me ‘everything right now is pointing for him to play,'” NFL Network’s Jane Slater posted on X. “I’ll have more from AT&amp;T stadium later today.” <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-dallas-dealt-concerning-daron-blond-ceedee-lamb-injury-updates-mnf">Lamb was added to the injury report</a> on Saturday due to a back injury, engendering concern throughout the fandom. Luck might be on his side, though.</p><h2><b>Can CeeDee Lamb keep the Cowboys afloat?</b></h2><p>Since quarterback Dak Prescott is done for the remainder of the season, the All-Pro wide receiver is tasked with shouldering towering offensive responsibilities for the Cowboys. He has recorded 59 receptions for 681 yards and four touchdowns through nine games, an output that will need to increase if his team is going to play meaningful football games this winter.</p><p>Ramping up production can be a demanding chore with a backup QB, though. Cooper Rush produced only 45 passing yards in last Sunday’s blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving little hope that he can spark a turnaround in the final eight weeks of the regular season. He will have to lean on Lamb and the Micah Parsons-led defense to survive.</p><p>The Cowboys are catching the Texans at the right time, however, following consecutive losses in prime-time games. Houston’s problems do not compare to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-micah-parsons-outrageous-reaction-mike-mccarthy-comments">public relations nightmare</a> that infested America’s Team last week, but a bit of vulnerability can give Dallas a desperately-needed opening.</p><p>Assuming CeeDee Lamb gets cleared for action, he will not have to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-ceedee-lamb-jealous-dolphins-stadium-cheat-code">worry about curtains</a> in this Monday Night Football showdown.

As <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1857892494664442266" rel="noopener">reported by Adam Schefter</a>, cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) was officially ruled out once again, while star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back) landed on the injury report following Saturday’s practice.</p><p>It’s been a long road to recovery for the 2023 league leader in interceptions, and that road continues for at least another week.</p><p>Bland had surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot before the 2024 season started, and he’s been out of the action through the first 10 weeks of the season.

You kidding me?”</p><p>ESPN <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/42318478/ceedee-lamb-wants-cowboys-hang-curtains-att-drop" rel="noopener">noted that the</a> Cowboys have used curtains for concerts, basketball games and other events at AT&amp;T Stadium.</p><p>“Everybody’s got the same thing,” the Jones off-kilter rant continued. “Every team that comes in here has the same issues. They know where the sun’s going to be. Every team has the same thing.”</p><p>Was Jones throwing shade at Lamb over his sun concerns?</p><p>Because, no, every team doesn’t exactly have the same thing — some owners actually strive to use the positioning of the sun to their advantage to <i>help </i>their own team, rather than make that fiery ball of gas at the center of our solar system a major hindrance.</p><p>Dolphins’ owner Stephen Ross, for instance, paid particular attention to the sun at his stadium, when he renovated Hard Rock Stadium in 2015 and 2016.</p><p>They designed the roof in a way so that, during afternoon games, the opposing team’s sideline would be exposed to direct sunlight, while the Dolphins would be covered in shade. This impacts a game significantly, since the opposing sideline can reach 30 degrees higher than the home sideline.</p><p>Stephen Ross spent $500 million on this renovation. Curtains would be pennies compared to that for Jerry Jones to purchase for AT&amp;T Stadium to make his star receiver happy!</p><p>But that’s not how Jerry Jones operates. Certainly no one would call him a sunny guy, but leaving <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-jerry-jones-blasts-att-stadium-concerns-ceedee-lamb-sunlight-issue">CeeDee Lamb</a> hanging out to dry like that in the hot Dallas afternoon sun wasn’t cool.

We do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium,” he said.</p><p>“Well let’s tear the damn stadium down and build another one? Are you kidding me?” he barked when asked about potentially limiting the glare with curtains or another covering on the windows. “Everybody has got the same thing. Every team that comes in here has the same issues.</p><p>“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?”</p><p>The Cowboys return to action next Monday night at their venue, hosting the Houston Texans.</p><h2><b>Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb said the sun prevented him from a touchdown reception</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jerry-Jones.jpg"><figcaption>Tim Heitman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Lamb explained via USA Today that the <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/cowboys/2024/11/10/jerry-jones-sun-stadium-dallas-cowboys-ceedee-lamb/76187449007/" rel="noopener">sunlight prevented him from catching</a> what would have been Cooper Rush’s only touchdown pass of the game while also voicing total support for curtains that would help curtail the issue.</p><p>“Yes, one thousand percent,” he answered when asked when he was in favor of curtains. “Couldn’t see the ball. Couldn’t see the ball, at all. The sun.”</p><p>Meanwhile, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-micah-parsons-reveals-true-worry-mike-mccarthys-seat-warms">Cowboys remain winless at home</a> this season and have now lost five straight games dating back to last season’s playoff loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
