Several Los Angeles Chargers players and other members of the traveling party crawled through a ceiling panel to escape a stuck hotel elevator Friday night in Dallas.
In a post on social media, the Chargers said that around 7:30 p.m. local time, Dallas Fire-Rescue assisted the people on the elevator "one by one" through the ceiling panel to an adjacent elevator.
"The Los Angeles Chargers thank Dallas Fire-Rescue for their quick response, professionalism and substantial efforts ensuring everyone's safety," the team said.
WFAA.com, citing Dallas Fire-Rescue, said the elevator was stuck in a "blind shaft" between the third and 15th floors of The Westin hotel in downtown Dallas.
