George Pickens wants curtains in AT&T Stadium after latest sun mishap

George Pickens hurdled a Kansas City Chiefs defender for a spectacular Thanksgiving Day highlight, and his performance could've been even bigger had he not lost what would've been a walk-in touchdown to the sun.

The play occurred in the second quarter with Pickens beating Chamarri Conner on a crossing route. If Pickens caught the ball Dak Prescott put on the money, he had the angle to turn up the sideline and score. But score he did not, and Pickens told reports postgame he thinks "curtains would help" going forward.

"I really couldn't see the ball," Pickens said, per the Associated Press. "It was the sun. Like I said, I always bounce back. Kind of like CeeDee bounced back from last week to this week. All you can do is just one foot forward, keep getting better."

Pickens is far from the first Cowboys player to deal with this issue. CeeDee Lamb missed out on a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles last year because of the AT&T Stadium glare, leading him to say he's "one thousand percent" in support of curtains. And on Thanksgiving Day two years ago, Brandon Aubrey missed an extra point while facing the sun.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, however, Jerry Jones says the glare is a home-field advantage.

“That really goes under the category of home-field advantage,” Jones said, per Pro Football Talk. “It should be an advantage to the home team, so I don’t want to adjust it for one reason because it is an advantage to us. . . . That’s our advantage. That should be our advantage. We get to play there more and we get to have it as an advantage. It has been an advantage for us to know where the sun is. I don’t want to change that.”

Jones has had countless peculiar takes over the years, and this is high on the list.
