A Dallas Cowboys cheerleader has been injured during Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders.

A veteran Dallas Cowboys cheerleader took a ball to the head during a kickoff in the second quarter on Sunday afternoon. The Cowboys were leading the Commanders, 6-0, on Sunday afternoon. Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey drilled a football out of bounds. The cheerleader took the football right to the head.

NFL fans are thinking of her.

"Cowboys' cheerleader got hit in the head on the kickoff. She seems okay. Cameras all in her face now as she tries to compose herself," one fan wrote.

"Cowboys cheerleader. SNIPER!" one fan added.

"Oh no the kickoff hit a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Hope she's ok," one fan added.

"Dude - Brandon Aubrey's kickoff just a Cowboys cheerleader in the head. She should sue him, the special teams coach, Mike McCarthy, Jerry Jones and the city of Arlington," one fan joked.

Video of the play is going viral on social media on Sunday afternoon, following the tough moment.

Aubrey has been one of the best kickers in the National Football League this season, but he's had some tough kickoffs go out of bounds, too. 

Unfortunately, this one ended up drilling a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader in the head.

The Cowboys are leading the Commanders, 6-0, early in the second quarter on Sunday. Dallas is 7-9 and has been eliminated from playoff contention. Washington, meanwhile, is 11-5 and hoping to finish the regular season strong.
