CHICAGO — Chicago Bears tight end Martellus Bennett was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys, and he made it clear prior to Thursday's game meant a lot to him.
Bennett spoke this week about how he and Cowboys tight end Jason Witten were not especially close in their time as teammates, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones described the colorful Bennett as someone who "marches to a little different drummer."
So it wasn't a perfectly sweet parting when Bennett was allowed to walk in free agency in 2012, even if Jones said he tried to re-sign him.
After a year with the New York Giants, Bennett landed with the Bears last season and has broken out as a receiver in Chicago.
Bennett showed his former team just how far he has come from his underachieving days in Dallas by scoring a 12-yard touchdown in the second quarter on Thursday. He capped the score by making a giant "X" with his hands — the trademark celebration of Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant.
Take that, Cowboys.
