Harris was standing between Buck and Troy Aikman while Buck was talking and gesturing with his hands. Harris appeared to think Buck wanted a handshake and went for it before realizing that wasn’t the case and pulled back. Aikman tried to hold back the laughter.

Commanders quarterback Sam Howell was 19 of 28 for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Jake Fromm was 10 of 16 for 91 yards and a touchdown.
"It’s really not a real game, but, at the same time, whatever team you’re on, you want to win," Howell said. "Especially knowing what they had on the other side with their little streak."
