Jimmy Johnson was "inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor" at halftime of Saturday’s game against the Lions, "becoming the 24th member" of the club. It was an "emotional day for Johnson and for many who supported him from family, players, coaches and fans." When his name was unveiled on the club level façade, "the crowd roared." A video montage was played on the big board above the field as former players Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith "rubbed Johnson’s coiffed white hair." Johnson was joined "not only by his family but numerous members of the Cowboys Ring of Honor" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 12/30).
The response was "probably the loudest decibel level" in recent Cowboys history. It was a "moment of pure joy for the sellout crowd of 93,731 inside AT&T Stadium" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 12/31).
