There weren’t many highlights during the Cowboys 28-14 Monday Night Football loss to the Titans, but Dallas fans did get one chance to cheer during a pregame jumbotron tribute to MNF announcer and franchise legend Jason Witten.

Cowboys beat writer Jon Machota captured a video of Witten’s real time reaction to the video, and you can almost see him fighting the urge to ditch the headset and suit up for another game. Witten has taken a lot of heat for being a bust as an announcer, but he’ll always be a Cowboy legend. They could still use him, too.
It must be dusty in here.
