The league is facing unexpected troubles again and again! The Chargers are going to face off against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at 3 pm CT at AT&T Stadium (Arlington, TX). Everything is set up perfectly. Yet, a recent problem has induced chaos among NFL fans, especially within the Chargers nation.

According to the Los Angeles Chargers’ official X handle, uploaded on August 23, “At approximately 7:30 pm CT Friday evening, several players and members of the Chargers traveling party were stranded in an inoperable elevator at the team hotel.” However, thanks to the Dallas Fire Rescue, who “responded to the incident and subsequently assisted everyone from the elevator, one-by-one, through its ceiling panel and into an adjacent elevator.”

The Chargers then thanked them “for their quick response, professionalism and substantial efforts in ensuring everyone’s safety.” This gesture made the Chargers’ nation crazy over the internet, who took to social media to thank Dallas, but with a subtle jab on owner Jerry Jones. For instance, one LA fan commented, “Jerry Jones set that up.”

Another brought up CeeDee Lamb’s contract situation by saying, “Jerry doing everything except paying Ceedee crazy.” Someone else mentioned, “U ain’t slick Jerry” with a cat’s photo with a weird & hilarious expression. Whereas, one X user advised Jones to be calm, saying, “Tell Jerry to mellow out it’s only pre season.”

Besides these comments, many also posted some hilarious reactions like: “The cowboys trying to cheat (with a laughing emoji)” and “Classy. Well done to those cowboys fans.” Nevertheless, according to the reports, everyone is safe, and Jerry Jones hasn’t made any comments regarding it.

Meanwhile, interestingly, this incident came after the Cowboys themselves faced trouble at the practice field.

The Dallas players’ hotel caught fire!

A fire broke out on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 in an empty guest room at the Dallas Cowboys’ training camp hotel in California. As soon as this news broke out and smoke was visible near the camp, it sparked concerns among fans and players alike. But thankfully, no injuries were reported, and the blaze was quickly contained on time by the fire extinguishers. Although the reason behind this fire isn’t known yet, the team remained safe and continued to practice on the day.

Even after the incident, coach Mike McCarthy took a moment to express his gratitude to Oxnard’s public safety team for their swift response. He emphasized the importance of their outstanding work, calling the incident “very unfortunate.” In addition to that, McCarthy noted that he was relieved that no one was hurt. On the other hand, the Cowboys continued their training with two more practices before wrapping up camp on Thursday.

McCarthy, who is heading into his 18th season, admitted that this was an unusual event in his extensive coaching career. He remarked, “It’s the beauty of the National Football League. When you think you’ve seen it all, sometimes things like this happen.”
