Things got interesting on the sideline at the end of the first play of the fourth quarter on Thanksgiving Day between the Cowboys and the Dolphins when Dallas tight end Jason Witten tackled a cheerleader.

The young woman, Melissa Kellerman, was doing what Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders are supposed to do on game day when she was grabbed from behind and taken down by the 6’6″, 265-pound Witten.

Her shocked expression, mixed with a little bit of secret delight, was priceless. Could this be the start of something? Not likely — turns out he’s married with two children.
