The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) accidentally sent out a news release declaring a “major disaster” in the Dallas-Fort Worth area after the New Orleans Saints beat the Cowboys 44-19 at AT&T Stadium om Sunday. 

Christopher Salas, a Washington, D.C. reporter for Hearst, posted the release on X, formerly Twitter, saying it was emailed to his newsroom. 

The release claimed that FEMA was offering “federal disaster assistance” to individuals in Dallas, Fort Worth, Rockwall, Tarrant and Denton counties. It should be noted that Fort Worth is not a county in Texas, and the city of Fort Worth is in Tarrant County. 

According to the release, residents in these counties could get grants for “temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.” It also claimed that federal funding would be available for “debris removal” and “hazard mitigation.”

Unfortunately for downtrodden Cowboys fans in the Metroplex, you will not be getting money for your team’s loss. FEMA confirmed to multiple news outlets that the email was supposed to be “for training purposes only.”

Saints fans and people who don’t like the Cowboys responded to Salas’ post, calling the incident “freaking hilarious.”

Cowboys Nation can only hope their team rallies on Sunday to beat the Baltimore Ravens, who are seeking their first win of the season after two nail-biting losses against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Las Vegas Raiders.
