Overview

• Sunday’s matchup is the first late-afternoon home game this season in Arlington, where sunlight through the west doors has affected play in previous years.
• Schottenheimer told reporters the Cowboys have a “big plan and process” that includes satellite imaging and photos of the sun’s trajectory.
• Washington coach Dan Quinn said the Commanders are planning for potential glare and will brief players on situational decisions.
• AT&T Stadium’s uncommon southwest–northeast layout and transparent southwest end zone leave it unusually vulnerable to late-day sun.
• Curtains are available and used for other events at the venue, but Jerry Jones has not adopted them for Cowboys games and no change has been announced.
