The Dallas Cowboys take center stage in the NFL world on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. Ahead of the game, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took some time to reminisce with a familiar face.

Jones met with former Dallas head coach Jason Garrett and was chopping it up about that time they opened AT&T Stadium.

Garrett was nice enough not to correct Jerry on live television and simply hit him with an awkward smile. To add to the awkwardness on set, Jerry Jones was speaking with Garrett when Micah Parsons ran onto the field in his Packers uniform.
