Jason Garrett: Sun's glare not to blame for Cowboys' woes

Give Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett credit for at least one thing: He is not buying any excuses of the “sun being in our eyes.”

"The sun's been there for five billion years and it'll probably be there for five billion more," Garrett said Monday when asked on 105.3 The Fan if the sun bothered Cowboys receivers in the fourth quarter.

It seems a talking point in Dallas on Monday, coming off a 22-21 loss to the Giants, was the Cowboys were affected by the sun in the final quarter of the game on Sunday.

The radio station even asked owner Jerry Jones if he would consider curtains at AT&T Stadium.

And get this: he said he would.

"Probably if you're going to have curtains and shades, you're probably gonna have them throughout the game," Jones said. "And those are things we'll always continue to look at as well as any new technology to add with the tinting of our glass and things of that nature. But we've been playing in AT&T for many years now, and for the most part it serves its purpose well, but you're always going to have situations that come to light that you certainly will take a look at and see if you can improve upon."
