"What about the sun? Where’s the moon?" - Jerry Jones responds to outrage over sunlight impacting play at Cowboys stadium

On Sunday, Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys suffered a 44-6 loss at the hands of divisional rivals Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium. It was their first game without quarterback Dak Prescott, who's reportedly set to undergo season-ending surgery to fix his partially torn hamstring.

In his absence, the offense looked a shadow of itself and mustered only six points, none in the second half. They should have had a touchdown late in the second quarter as a well-executed play-action call gave quarterback Cooper Rush as much time as he needed to find a wide-open Ceedee Lamb in the endzone.

He threw the ball in the wide receiver's direction, who inexplicably failed to catch it, forcing the Cowboys to settle for a field goal to make it 7-6 instead of taking a 10-7 lead.

However, replays absolved Lamb, as they showed that the wide receiver had the sun in his eyes while he was running across the endzone and couldn't locate the pass.

The glass pane on the east end of AT&T Stadium has been a persistent issue, as it has often led to receivers losing track of the ball due to the sun shining in their eyes. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about the issue after the game, he responded:

"We know where the sun is going to be when we decide to flip the coin or not. We do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium.”

When asked why the stadium staff aren't instructed to cover that glass pane, which they commonly do during concerts and other events, the Cowboys owner lashed out at the reporter:

“Well let’s tear the damn stadium down and build another one? Are you kidding me? Everybody has got the same thing. Every team that comes in here has the same issues. 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?”

Jerry Jones' questionable reason to keep Mike McCarthy

That wasn't the only perplexing answer that Jerry Jones gave during his post-game chat with reporters. When asked if the team would consider parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy following the loss to the Eagles, he responded that they wouldn't because "he has fired coaches in-season before and he has regretted it every time."

Jones has fired only one coach midway through a season. In 2010, the Cowboys parted ways with Wade Phillips eight games into the season after he led them to a 1-7 start. The team named offensive coordinator Jason Garrett as the interim head coach.

In the offseason, they handed him the job and he spent nine years as the Cowboys' head coach. Jones has no reason to regret firing Phillips, but he alluded to it as the reason why he wouldn't fire McCarthy, whose contract is set to expire in the offseason.
