Tony Romo and Jason Witten were one of the greatest quarterback-tight end duos in NFL history. The former Dallas Cowboys stars were in attendance at the Mavericks game on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. Witten was seen wearing a luxury Hublot watch.
Romo and Witten played in 156 games together and connected for 786 catches, 8,785 yards and 47 touchdowns. The Cowboys didn't have a lot of playoff success during their time together, but they are two of the most beloved figures in Dallas.
The duo received a warm welcome at the American Airlines Center as they cheered on the Mavericks against the Pacers, coached by former Mavs coach Rick Carlisle. Witten was also seen wearing a Hublot Big Bang Unico worth around $19,900.

Rick Carlisle introduced Tony Romo to Tyrese Haliburton
Dallas has a special place in Tony Romo's heart, having played for the Cowboys for 14 seasons and making six playoff appearances. Romo also became a fan of the Mavericks during his time there and has been seen during home games over the years.
On Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers, Romo and Witten were near the Indiana Pacers' bench. Former Mavs and current Pacers coach Rick Carlisle interacted during the game, with Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reporting that Carlisle introduced Romo to Tyrese Haliburton.
The Mavericks famously honored Romo back in 2017 following his retirement by letting him shoot during a pregame.
He was given warmup jerseys and was allowed to participate in the shootaround. He formed a friendship with former Mavericks majority owner Mark Cuban and franchise legend Dirk Nowitzki.
