It is being reviewed further, and a decision regarding the ability to re-open the roof safely will be made when possible.”Meanwhile, team owner and general manager Jerry Jones added: “Certainly, there was no risk at all to anybody on the field playing once we shut the roof and again.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”Got a lot of wind gusts in this area this afternoon, and apparently that created some looseness up there. And then when the wind, when we did try to open it up, the wind got in there and exacerbated the looseness.”They wouldn’t have started this game had there been any risk at all. And not only the NFL wouldn’t, but I wouldn’t if there’s any risk at all. And there was no risk at all when they started the game.Daniel Dubois calls out Jake Paul”The reason they do that is to make sure everything is working to avoid those kinds of risks if there’s any fans or anybody in here.”Prior to the start of the game, a piece of metal was bolted to the frame to ensure nothing else came loose.The Cowboys went on to lose 34-10 to the Texans.
