Witten dedicated to standing for the national anthem (0:23)

The Cowboys wanted to maintain what Jerry Jones called the sanctity of the national anthem and the flag in their pregame protest. “The flag and the anthem represent a fight for nearly 250 years for the ideals of our country,” Jason Garrett said. “And I think everybody respected that. You've heard many players form around the league say, This has never been about the flag. This has been about equality and it's been about rights.' We had candid conversations with our team. This country is not perfect. The flag represents the fight and the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of men and women over the last 240 or so years who have been fighting for these ideals all over the world and I think our players understood that. It just felt like it was important to somehow someway demonstrate that and do it in a way that did not involve the flag or the anthem.”

Jason Witten's comments from the locker room after the team's pregame display: In my 15 years in this league, the brotherhood I've been able to form with guys from different walks, beliefs, thoughts and that's what makes a locker room special. I'm going to stand for the national anthem with my hand over my heart until the day I die. And I respect our country and love and honor the service men that represent our flag and one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. I believe in that. I believe in that wholeheartedly. I also can respect and agree to disagree. That's what a locker room is all about when divisive thoughts come in. There are lots of different ways. That's what special about a locker room because there's a lot of different opinions, lot of different thoughts. What's important to us and it's important for me is that you take the high road and you show unity and you look for a better good. I think our team tried to do that tonight.
