Cowboys Owners Announces a One-Minute Moment of Silence in the Game vs. Giants to Honor the Late Charlie Kirk - Who Was Assassinated at a Community Event

September 11, 2025

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys have announced that a one-minute moment of silence will be observed at AT&T Stadium before their home opener against the New York Giants to honor Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist tragically assassinated during a community event earlier this week.

Team owner Jerry Jones issued a heartfelt statement ahead of the primetime matchup:
“This tribute is bigger than football. Charlie’s passing is a reminder of how fragile life is, and how much unity matters in times of loss. At AT&T Stadium, we want this to be more than just a game — we want it to be a place where community, respect, and resilience are honored.”

The solemn observance will take place before kickoff, coordinated with the Giants and NFL Game Operations. Music inside the stadium will pause, the lights will dim, and players, coaches, and officials will line both sidelines for a full 60 seconds of silence.

Videoboards across AT&T Stadium will display tributes reading “IN MEMORY OF CHARLIE KIRK — 1993–2025” and “PAUSE. REMEMBER. STAND TOGETHER.” The PA announcer will invite all fans to rise and join in the moment of reflection.

The Cowboys will also post on official channels before kickoff:
“Tonight, before facing the New York Giants, we will hold a one-minute moment of silence in memory of Charlie Kirk. We stand with his family, his loved ones, and with all who believe in unity and respect. #DallasCowboys”

Charlie Kirk, 31, was the founder and CEO of Turning Point USA and a prominent figure in conservative media. His assassination sent shockwaves across the nation, prompting calls for peace and civility in public life.

For the Cowboys, this tribute is about more than football. It is about sending a message of solidarity — that in moments of tragedy, America’s game can stand as a symbol of respect, community, and enduring strength.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
