Monday night's NFL game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys had an unexpected interruption during the second quarter when a cat ran onto the field.

Play stopped as the mystery cat navigated its way across the field into Cowboys territory, where, after a minute of contemplation, its scored the most adorable touchdown of the NFL season thus far.

Commentator Kevin Harlan, who was calling the game for Westwood One, had an absolutely flawless call of the cat's journey to the end zone.

"He's walking to the three," Harlan intoned as if the game was riding on the feline's final drive.

"He's at the two, and the cat is in the CDW red zone," Harlan joked, even working a sponsor's plug into the soon-to-be viral moment.

"Policemen and state troopers have come onto the field, and the cat runs into the end zone! That is a touchdown!" Harlan said. "And the cat is elusive, kind of like [Saquon] Barkley and [Ezekiel] Elliott."

Harlan's play-by-play on the cat continued until it finally made its way off the field, and must be heard to be enjoyed to the fullest.

On Twitter, fans were quick to praise the cat for its speed and agility, and were also extremely complimentary of Harlan's composure throughout the broadcast.

While the moment was undeniably adorable, broadcaster Madelyn Burke tweeted, there are numerous stray cats that reside in MetLife Stadium, and the one that took the field was likely startled by fan noise.

Someone please give this agile, football-loving cat a home.
