Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys fans were given a dire warning Sunday night when thunderstorms rolled through Acrisure Stadium, delaying kickoff.

Stadium officials posted a message on social media telling fans to take cover as the storms entered the area. The NBC broadcast showed lightning crossing the sky.

“Weather update: Fans attending tonight’s game please take cover in the concourses and FedEx Great Hall,” the message read.

The match was scheduled to start at 8:20 PM ET. The Steelers were about to be introduced when NFL officials decided to delay the start of the game.

Pittsburgh wanted to thwart the Dallas offense. They entered the game 3-1 behind starting quarterback Justin Fields and an elite defense led by TJ Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Fields was a surprise after being thrust into the starting role for an injured Russell Wilson. He had 830 passing yards and three touchdown passes in the first four games of the season. He also has 145 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.

The Cowboys narrowly edged past the New York Giants last week. Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb reacquainted as the wide receiver had seven catches for 98 yards and a touchdown.
