Halloween has already passed but it’s still spooky season in the NFL.
The game between the Cowboys and the Giants on Monday Night Football was interrupted for about two minutes when a black cat ran on the field at Met Life stadium.

Asked building security about the black cat on the field: Apparently there are some resident stray cats at MetLife— they usually come out after the game, people feed them, etc. They live in the bleachers, I’m told this one must have gotten startled out by fan noise #journalism

Kevin Harlan’s call of the black is absolutely amazing.
Kevin Harlan's Westwood One radio call of the cat on the field is, as you might expect, an all-time great call. How much of a pro is Harlan? He worked a sponsor read into it. pic.twitter.com/3x0MVNEHNY

Of course, NFL fans had jokes about the black cat running on the field.
This black cat has spent more time in the MetLife Stadium endzone than the NY Jets https://t.co/1bPKHwU9Mg

Immediately adding that black cat in every one of my fantasy leagues. Elite athlete.

Can’t believe they’re showing the black cat that ran into the field. Just encouraging cats everywhere to run onto football fields to try and get famous

Unlike the Cowboys, the black cat got into the end zone.
