ARLINGTON, Texas —Standing in front of hundreds of people Wednesday afternoon at AT&T Stadium as the keynote speaker of a luncheon to honor The Salvation Army, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reflected on a story from 20 years ago.
Jones brought up a player from Super Bowl XXX when Troy Aikman had his back turned to one side of the field, but quickly turned around and lofted a touchdown pass to Jay Novacek for an early score in the Cowboys’ eventual third Super Bowl win in four years.
Jones mentioned how after the game, Aikman was asked by mesmerized reporters how he could’ve seen Novacek on the other side of the field.
