The Dallas Cowboys had several famous faces in the crowd for Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears, including Beyonce and Jay-Z.

During his weekly radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan's Shan and RJ show Tuesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reminisced about the first time he and Beyonce met in 2004, when she performed with Destiny's Child at halftime of the team's Thanksgiving Day game.

"As a matter of fact, they were planning to perform and it was so cold you couldn't stand it out there on Thanksgiving Day," Jones said, according to the Dallas Morning News. "And I got them all coats from Neiman Marcus. And to this day, one of the things that we kind of smile about are those jackets that we got them so that they could go out there and do a good job and give us Thanksgiving Day halftime. Boy, I'm telling you, she's phenomenal."

Jones then gushed about Jay-Z, describing the rapper as "one of the neatest people that I've met."

"Make no mistake about it, he's the real deal," Jones said. "He's as easy to be around, talk to, as sharp as anybody I've met. I see what she sees in him."
