Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught a two-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott against the Washington Redskins in the first half of the Week 2 matchup on Sunday.

The 37-year-old Witten left his brief retirement and post-playing career in broadcasting earlier this year to suit up again for his longtime Cowboys franchise. Witten, an 11-time Pro-Bowl tight end, also caught a touchdown reception in Dallas' Week 1 victory over their other NFC East division rivals New York Giants.

Witten officially announced his initial retirement in May of 2018, after which he joined ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast crew, much to the chagrin of vocal viewers. Prior to his retirement, Witten had appeared in 179 consecutive starts for the Cowboys, manufacturing himself as a pillar at tight end in Dallas' offense.

Witten left his brief retirement in February earlier this year, re-signing and re-joining his Cowboys by inking a one-year, $4.5 million contract to play with quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott and leave his dusty broadcasting booth.

The future Hall of Famer has logged 1,155 receptions for 12,463 yards and now 70 touchdowns in his storied, 16-year NFL career—all with the Cowboys. Dallas selected Witten out of Tennessee in the third round of the 2003 NFL Draft.

The return of Witten could prove to be a formidable option for Prescott under center, as the former broadcaster looks mighty efficient in his snaps for the Cowboys.
