The Giants intercepted the first Dallas Cowboys pass of the game just seconds after the opening kickoff on Monday night, which seemed like a good sign for a persistently downtrodden team. Then, in the second quarter, another omen.
With the Giants leading by 6 points, a black cat trotted from a MetLife Stadium tunnel, dashed up the sideline and darkly stared down the Cowboys’ bench from a few yards away.
The cat then took a lengthy tour of the field, holding up the game while ignoring or spurning pleas from beckoning security personnel as cat owners in the grandstand no doubt nodded knowingly.
