Alarming Update On Bizarre Cowboys Stadium Accident

The Dallas Cowboys endured yet another unusual situation at AT&T Stadium, adding to a season filled with severe challenges.

A short while ago, prior to Dallas’ Monday Night Football matchup against the Houston Texans, the Cowboys opened the stadium’s retractable roof for the first time in two years.

However, during the process, a piece of sheet metal fell, narrowly avoiding stadium production staff

Despite the alarming incident, reports indicate that no injuries occurred. After discussions, officials have decided to keep the dome closed for tonight’s game.

The moment caught the attention of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown crew, with reporter Lisa Salters describing the startling scene. “Big chunks” of debris fell from above while she was on the field preparing for a live segment for SportsCenter.

“The bottom done already fell out in Dallas. The top might as well, too,” ESPN analyst Ryan Clark joked.

This marks the second consecutive home game where AT&T Stadium has presented unique challenges.

Just last week, the setting sun’s glare played a role in a 34-6 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with critics revisiting owner Jerry Jones’ longstanding refusal to install blinds to mitigate the issue.

For many, the stadium mishaps feel like a reflection of the Cowboys’ tumultuous 2024 season.

Once NFC East champions riding high on three straight 12-win seasons, Dallas now finds itself at 3-6 and facing mounting adversity. It’s almost a foregone conclusion that Mike McCarthy’s tenure as head coach will end after the season.

Already without defensive stars Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, the team suffered another devastating blow when quarterback Dak Prescott was sidelined for the season with a hamstring injury.

In their first game without Prescott, backup Cooper Rush managed just 45 passing yards on 23 attempts. Despite the struggles, Rush will start again over Trey Lance.

The Cowboys’ performance at home has also been a stark contrast to last year.

After going undefeated at AT&T Stadium during the 2023 regular season, they are now winless at home through four games in 2024.

The Texans, currently seven-point favorites, appear poised to add to Dallas’ woes.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the freak accident. Otherwise this whole situation would be no joking matter. (But since that’s not the case, the jokes seem to write themselves … That’s just the type of season it’s been for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys.)

Having said that, do you give Dallas ANY chance to pull off the upset tonight???
