Dallas Cowboys set up screen to block sun from coaches at news conference
FRISCO, Texas - In the aftermath of the Dallas Cowboys' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, much of the conversation was focused on the sun through the windows of AT&T Stadium.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb told reporters after the game that he could not see a Cooper Rush pass because of the sun blasting through the window above the west end zone.
After the game, Jerry Jones dismissed the idea of putting something up to block the sunlight.

"Is that for the sun?" McCarthy asked before making a face.
Reporters in the room laughed.
"I couldn't help myself," McCarthy said with a smile.
