Troy Aikman gave an unexpected shoutout to a Rams linebacker\u2019s sister during \u201cMonday Night Football,\u201d and she couldn\u2019t have been more thrilled about the moment.<\/p>\n
Aikman doled out the acknowledgement in the first quarter of Los Angeles\u2019 road matchup with the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, when he was giving some props to Nate Landman for forcing a Kirk Cousins incompletion. <\/p>\n
Troy Aikman: “He likes being called Landman. Great show, great linebacker, great name. I mean, it just all ties together. <\/p>\n
The interesting thing- guess what his sister’s name is? Ocean Landman, and she was a swimmer at Oregon State.
