Jason Garrett is back in Dallas on Sunday, as the Cowboys are playing host to the New York Giants and their new offensive coordinator.
Garrett, of course, spent the last 10 years of his life as head coach of the Cowboys until he was fired shortly after last season.
While he had fun before Sunday’s game saying hello to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his former QB Dak Prescott, he had more fun on the Giants’ first drive where he called a flea-flicker and was really creative on the drive that ended with a touchdown.
Check out this fun little play he called up:

Cowboys fans were annoyed at seeing Garrett being so creative:
Literally fuming that Jason Garrett would call a flea flicker on the first drive after not calling one for 13 years running the Cowboys offense.

Jason Garrett and the flea flicker just to really make us pissed off.

I don't believe Jason Garrett ever called a flea-flicker with the Cowboys.
And we predicted that he would this week on the Locked On Cowboys podcast.

Other NFL fans enjoyed this move:
"This is a very aggressive first series. Jason Garrett pulling out all of the stops." — Tony Romo
L O L. Of course. He's playing against air, so that helps.

Giants run a flea flicker, fake reverse, and an end-around on the same drive. That would have been the most creative drive of Jason Garrett's career in Dallas.
