After Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb lost a would-be touchdown in the sun last week, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was defiant when asked about using curtains for NFL games. He went as far as to joke about tearing down the stadium.

Well, Jones doesn't have to tear down his $1.5 billion stadium, but he should at least keep up on the maintenance. It led to a scary scene on Monday.

Ahead of the Cowboys' primetime matchup with the Texans -- a game where the roof was supposed to be open at AT&T Stadium -- a large piece of metal debris fell from overhead and landed near production staffers on field level. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.

Upon noticing that there was an additional metal sheet that appeared loose, the Cowboys opted to close the roof for the game.

It was unclear what caused the debris to fall or how something like that got loose to begin with. But it's just been that kind of year for the Cowboys -- everything is falling apart.
