The Dallas Cowboys are a rough, tough, burly bunch. Why, just Wednesday, they practiced outdoors in a light drizzle.
OK, it was really more of an intermittent mist.
The point is, rather than seek shelter at Cowboys Stadium as they normally do when the weather turns, on this day the Cowboys stayed at their Valley Ranch headquarters and practiced in the wet, muddy conditions.
"It was a really good practice," coach Jason Garrett said. "I told the guys it was a little bit like when we were 8, 9, 10 years old and we first started playing football. You just keep playing through the rain."
The decision to practice in the rainy conditions may have been tactical. The Cowboys play Saturday night at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the weather in Florida can turn wet at any moment....
