Ive never seen jason witten mail it in:
Don't take my word for it. Rewatch the game and pay attention to his route running and body language. He was completely demoralized.
All that says is that he is human. The saying is that you cannot KEEP a good man down. He did not let himself stay down but for that few hours how bad things were got to him.
His star quarterback and best friend was on the sideline. Kitna was playing terrible. 90% of the team had mailed it in. His owner was saying the coach was not going to be fired. And they were getting clobbered by a team that they were supposed to be competing with for NFC dominance.
I cannot think of a more demoralizing time in my whole time as a fan of the Cowboys.
I am not saying that to bash on Witten but instead to point to the character of Bennett. People need to get over the programming from HBO.
