Possibly a real treat on Sunday as the Cowboys go to Atlanta to face the
Falcons. Cowboys tight end Jason Witten just three reception away from
Michael Irvin's Franchise record for Career Receptions, and Head Coach
Jason Garrett knows both guys were real special.
"When you look at those two guys, their exterior might be different, but they are all about the same things. Each of those guys is as good a teammate that I've been around, as passionate about this game as I've been around, works as hard at this game as anyone I've been around. Really, really well liked. Well respected by their teammates, by the opposition, and they show up to work everyday and they do things the right way. They are guys that you can point to and say, 'do things like that guy does- watch 82, watch 88' and for the most part they will provide you with an unbelievable example on how to do things. A great example of two people that have an exterior that's a little bit different." Says Head Coach Jason Garrett.
Jason Witten goes into the game with 747 Career Receptions.
