data-mm-id=”_iichh8sww”>Jimmy Johnson was inducted into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor during halftime of Saturday's Cowboys – Lions game. It was a long time coming for the two-time Super Bowl winner, but as with any great coach, adjustments were made up until the very last second. In this case, it was Johnson tightening his belt right before he was called onto the field to be honored.

Jimmy Johnson still knows how to fire up a crowd 🔥📺: #DETvsDAL on ESPN/ABC📱: Stream on #NFLPlus https://t.co/urKeZaIvCL pic.twitter.com/l59MsZOVZ3— NFL (@NFL) December 31, 2023Johnson took over in Dallas in 1989 and went 1-15. By 1993 the Cowboys went 13-3 and won their first Super Bowl since 1977. Johnson finished his time in Dallas a year later with a 44-36 record and two Super Bowl victories. Then he took some time off before coaching the Miami Dolphins where he stayed for four seasons. He's been working for the NFL on FOX ever since while those around the Cowboys tried to mend the fences between himself and Jerry Jones that it would take to get him welcome back to Dallas as he was tonight. The lesson? Never stop making adjustments.

Ibrahimovic, 37, joined Galaxy in March after departing Manchester United, and he went on to have an immense impact in his debut MLS campaign, scoring 22 goals in 27 appearances.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has made an electric start to the 2020-21 Premier League season.
The striker has scored four goals in Everton s opening two games, following up the winner at Tottenham with a first career hat-trick against West Brom last weekend.
Eyebrows were raised in some quarters when Calvert-Lewin was linked with Manchester United during the close season, but if he continues in the same vein then further links to elite clubs will surely follow.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti does not think the 23-year-old s performances are a flash in the pain, pointing to former Milan star Filippo Inzaghi – a prolific goalscorer despite clear deficiencies in a lot of other departments – as an example for Calvert-Lewin to follow.

Perth Glory missed out on the chance to draw level with Melbourne City in the A-League ladder as their club-record six-match winning run ended in a goalless draw at AAMI Park.
The visitors had a perfect record throughout December and January but could not find a way through in Saturday s clash with City, who remain two points better off in second place.
Goals were expected in Melbourne, but it proved to be a tense affair, with City marksman Jamie MacLaren and visiting skipper Diego Castro wasting good first-half opportunities.
City dodged a bullet just before the hour as Joshua Brillante brought down Bruno Fornaroli in the box, but the initial decision to award a penalty was overruled by VAR for an offside infringement.
