The Dallas Cowboys’ blowout loss last week against the New Orleans Saints was reportedly called a federal disaster by a government agency, accidentally.
According to multiple reports, the Federal Emergency Management Agency accidentally sent out a news release declaring a major disaster for the state of Texas following the Saints’ dominating victory.
FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance was available to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by the Saints, in the agency’s original news release.
Later, the disaster response team said their message was sent out by mistake and was supposed to be just used for training purposes.
The Saints handed the Cowboys their first loss of the season with a 44-19 win on Sunday at AT&T Stadium.
