The Dallas Cowboys had to deal with a major inconvenience ahead of their Week 3 fixture against the Chicago Bears.
The Cowboys bounced back from their opening-night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with a thrilling overtime victory against the New York Giants last Sunday and are hoping to go into next week with a 2-1 record.
However, according to the Dallas Morning News, an equipment malfunction at both Dallas airports left the team stranded at home on Saturday.
Dallas Cowboys Have Plenty Of Time
ProFootballTalk noted that the NFC East outfit was supposed to leave the city at 3:30 p.m. local time, but their flight was delayed due to the issue. Fortunately, they were able to board a flight about an hour later.
Kickoff between the Cowboys and Bears is scheduled in the late afternoon time-slot, at 4:25 p.m. Eastern Time — which should help lessen the impact of the delay.
The upcoming game will carry extra meaning for Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, who was fired as the Bears head coach last season, having gone 14-32 as the man in charge.

“I think the best thing in the world would be for us to play well, win this game, and give Matt Eberflus the game ball after we play well and beat Chicago,” head coach Brian Schottenheimer said.
