Tony Romo, Jason Witten complain Texans fans made it a road game for Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys may be selling out their home games, but it’s the wrong fans buying all the tickets.
There were so many Texans fans at AT&T Stadium on Sunday that the Cowboys had to go to a silent snap count … during a home game!
“We played on the road today in that football game….we need to tighten up selling our tickets,” quarterback Tony Romo said after the game via NBC’s Newy Scruggs.
Both Romo and tight end Jason Witten told reporters the Cowboys went to a silent snap count during the game.
Romo even said the home environment that favored the visiting Texans was worse than their road experiences this season:
Tony Romo said Texans fans were so loud it was like a road crowd, louder than the Cowboys experienced at Tennessee and St. Louis.

This is embarrassing for the Cowboys. Just watching the game, you could hear Texans fans erupt when Dan Bailey missed a field goal at the end of regulation. They completely outnumbered Cowboys fans and took over the stadium.
What’s concerning is that this was the second time opposing fans took over in Arlington. In Week 1, it was San Francisco 49ers fans who took over. Jerry Jones needs to handle this.
Look at all the Texans red in the crowd:

Maybe Tony Romo has the only solution:
Cowboys went with silent count most of the game because Texans fans made so much crowd noise. Tony Romo jokes he might buy more tickets.
