According to a Harris poll, which surveyed over 2,500 adults, the Dallas Cowboys are no longer considered “America’s Team.” The poll concluded that Dallas has been replaced by the Denver Broncos atop the list.
The Dallas Cowboys have dropped to the #4 spot this year, after spending six years as the favorite team of adults who follow professional football.
Replacing them at the top of the list are the Denver Broncos, moving up two spots. They’re followed by the NY Giants (who have moved up two spots to 2nd) and the Green Bay Packers (who dropped one spot to 3rd). Rounding out the top five favorite football teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers, up two spots from 7th to 5th.
It’s important to note that this poll was conducted following the Cowboys disastrous Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. But the reality here is that the Cowboys are no longer the brand name that they have been in the past.
A certain aspect of football fans, some of whom are what we can conclude to be casual followers of the game, tend to go with the teams who are winning. That could very well be one of the primary reasons that Dallas has fallen from the top spot.
And then you have Peyton Manning, who is America’s golden boy and has been since his days with the Tennessee Volunteers late last century. Without his presence on the Broncos, it’s hard to imagine them being No. 1 in this poll.
The Harris poll also indicates that the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints round out the top 10. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars are tied at the bottom.
