At the coin flip Jason Witten told Tony Gonzalez he appreciated the kind words the 10-time Pro Bowler had for him earlier in the week, calling him the best tight end in football.
Witten then had more catches than Gonzalez (five to four) and yards (53 to 37).
"One thing Tony Sparano used to say when he was the tight ends coach was to always try to be the best tight end out there," Witten said. "I don't know about that, but he's been doing it over and over for so long that everybody's just been trying to follow him."
Witten is now tied with Mickey Shuler for ninth in receptions all-time among tight ends with 462. He's 18th all-time in yards with 5,247.
