Jimmy Johnson buckling his belt beside Cowboys cheerleader in viral video leaves fans stunned - "Ain't no way that's protocol"

Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson is now a member of the team's Ring of Honor after years of enmity towards owner/general manager Jerry Jones.

America's Team commemorated the milestone during a halftime ceremony in their Saturday game against the Detroit Lions. After being thanked by his long-time boss, the veteran tactician said:

"I'm so very, very proud of what we accomplished. But more than anybody else, thank you Jerry Jones for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys."

He opined that despite all the past enmity, they always considered each other a necessary part of the 1990s' dynasty:

“The two of us, working together, made history. I don’t ever recall us having a difference of opinion.”

At one point, as his highlight reel was being played, ESPN's cameras caught Johnson fixing his belt while standing beside a Cowboys cheerleader:

Fans became blankly amused upon seeing that and shared their reactions:

“Triplets” in attendance; CeeDee Lamb makes history as Cowboys win on Jimmy Johnson’s induction day

Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones were not the only happy Dallas Cowboys figures on Saturday.

Also in attendance during the former’s induction ceremony were his “Triplets” - the offensive core of quarterback (and current MNF analyst) Troy Aikman (who had to temporarily leave the booth), running back Emmitt Smith, and wide receiver Michael Irvin. The Super Bowl XXVII MVP had said before the ceremony:

“It means everything to me and my teammates and everybody that was a part of those teams. And the circle has been closed tonight at halftime.”

Back to the game against the Detroit Lions, CeeDee Lamb made history by registering his 112th reception of 2023, breaking the franchise single-season record:

He would also break the franchise single-season receiving yardage record later, hitting 1,604 in the fourth quarter, with Irvin in attendance.

The Cowboys eventually won 20-19 after James Mitchell mishandled Jared Goff’s two-point pass.
