The Dallas Cowboys were planning to play with the AT&T Stadium roof open for the first time since 2022, but a large piece of metal fell from the roof as it was being opened nearly three hours before kickoff against the Houston Texans on Monday night.

The "horrifying" video was posted to social media by the MLFootball account.
