The Carolina Panthers played on Sunday...right? 

Somehow, a black cat made its way onto the field at MetLife stadium during the Giants-Cowboys Monday Night Football game.

Midway through the second quarter, the game was stopped with the cat rushing for more yards than both Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley combined. 

Of course, the number one trending topic on Twitter? The black cat.

Here are some of the best tweets:

ESPN knows sports journalists across the board tweet about house pets. Think this was a plant to drive ratings.
