A black cat got loose on the field for Giants-Cowboys, and Twitter lost its mind

Here’s hoping fans in Dallas and New York aren’t superstitious.

Just a few days after Halloween, a black cat took the field during the first half of the Giants’ game against the Cowboys in Week 9 at MetLife Stadium for Monday Night Football. It seems a fan set the animal loose.

The poor cat ran around the field, clearly confused and probably casting a curse on New York and Dallas’ seasons. You could argue the cat hexed the Giants offense, whose drive got interrupted by the cat. (They settled for a field goal and quarterback Daniel Jones threw an interception on the following drive.) But I’m not an expert in hexes. I can’t say with certainty.

Here’s a look at the cat running around the field.

Twitter had all the jokes within moments after the cat’s frolic on the field. We have to include Kevin Harlan’s call — he’s got a gift for this sort of moment.
