Monday Night Football in Week 11 featured an all-Texas matchup between the Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys. Houston came in with a 6-4 record, looking to grow its 1.5-game lead in the AFC South.
On the other hand, Dallas was 3-6 and just trying to keep its season afloat. Before kickoff at AT&T Stadium, a large piece of sheet metal fell from the roof as the players began taking the field for warm-ups. Fox 4 News' Jeff Kolb took to social media to share a picture of it after it landed on the field.
"Dangerous moment just now inside @ATTStadium where a big piece of sheet metal fell from the roof and almost hit multiple production people," Kolb wrote in his post.

"Guess we need to tear it down," another wrote . "Just Tear it down! 😂" added another . "Just tear the whole stadium down!" said a fan .

The Cowboys released a statement shortly after: We can confirm a piece of metal came loose and fell to the field (with some additional small debris) while the roof was in the process of opening. There were no injures. It is being reviewed further, and a decision regarding the ability to re-open the roof safely will be made when possible.
