Sunday was a bad day for the Cowboys. They lost their divisional playoff game to the Packers, on a last-second field goal, no less. But then after the game, players and fans couldn't just pack up and go home.
Instead, they got stuck inside AT&T Stadium due to severe weather in the area. Weather forecasts showed potential tornadoes and dangerous flash flooding.
Offseason program started 272 days ago. Training camp started 171 days ago.

There was some silver lining for fans who got stuck, though. They got to see some of their favorite players one more time this season.
