The Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium was filled for another Sunday football game, and just like many before this one it was filled with fans from the away team.
The Houston Texans fans were so loud that tight end Jason Witten said the Cowboys had to go to a silent snap count.
Jason Witten: All the Houston fans forced us to go to a silent snap count

Quarterback Tony Romo supported those claims calling it a road game in their home stadium.
Wow, Tony Romo said he had to go to a silent count because the Texans fan base - in Dallas - was so loud.

Romo said "we played on the road today" and talked about having to go with silent snap count at home

The reasoning for this is a complex issue, but it has been a persistent problem at Cowboys games since opening that new stadium. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said after the home-opener against the San Francisco 49ers that he wasn’t concerned so it looks like Romo, Witten and crew better get used to it.
