When it comes to Jason Garrett’s playing career, one game is remembered among them all.
It was a Thanksgiving Day game in 1994 when Garrett started at quarterback for a banged-up Dallas Cowboys team on Thanksgiving against the Green Bay Packers. Garrett completed 15 of 26 passes for 311 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 42-31 win.
This Thanksgiving, NBC showed footage of Garrett receiving his customary turkey leg as the man himself called the Miami Dolphins’ prime-time game against the Packers.
“The key question is what happened to the turkey leg?” play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico asked Garrett.
“You know something? I had it in the freezer. It was in tin foil. I probably had it for 15 years,” Garrett replied.
That turkey leg has no business still being frozen.
