EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A black cat got the best of the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants for a few minutes Monday night.
'The cat runs into the end zone!' Kevin Harlan calls the black cat's TD during Monday Night Football

The cat scampered on the field during a Giants drive in the second quarter and forced referee Clay Martin to delay the game while workers at MetLife Stadium and some New Jersey State Troopers herded the feline toward the end zone away from the players.
You would have seen it if you watched the game on ESPN.
Better still, though, was the call from radio announcer Kevin Harlan, who was the original voice of the Timberwolves on the radio before going on to national fame.
The cat didn't leave right away. It was directed into the corner of the end zone and then sprinted across the end line to a camera platform.
For a second, the cat jumped on the platform and then sprang out. It finished its run along the end line before running up the tunnel to the cheers of the crowd.
The cat wasn't good luck for the Giants, who lost 37-18.
