The play will turn 10 years old on October 5th. At the time the Dallas Cowboys were 3-1 and coming off of a massive win on Sunday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints. On NBC’s postgame show after the game, tight end Jason Witten noted how the team’s goal was to “win the quarters” of the season which they accomplished with that victory.
The next quarter brought a showdown against the in-state little brothers known as the Houston Texans. Week 5 of that season marked the Texans’ first trip to AT&T Stadium as their only visit to play the Cowboys at that point in their franchise history occurred at Texas Stadium.
