LOL, and leave it to the Cowboys for losing them all except for that last one at the bottom vs. the Chargers. Thankfully, the Broncos game where they got humiliated is not among those.

In addition to that, Dallas' playoff game averaged 41.2 million, only the Chiefs-Bills primetime divisional-round game has topped that. And I'd imagine if Dallas had won in the wild card and played a primetime divisional-round game, it would have been No. 1 rated.

Too bad the league doesn't seem to care that the Cowboys are its top ratings draw and the more successful Dallas is, the better the league's viewership.

Unfortunately, it was probably people tuning in to watch Dallas lose or see if they were for real.

Guess who won only one of those games? All this does is prove the statement Jerry made either last season or in 2019 that all he cares about is being 'relevant' and 'interesting'. Winning is secondary to media attention.

I get that some are infatuated with the premise that Dallas is the most popular franchise in the NFL. The rest of us don't give two spits about being popular - we want to monkey stomp the hell out of everyone on the way to championships. If you aren't in it to win it I don't have time for you.

I'll never understand the satisfaction some fans take from the Cowboys popularity.

Dallas went 1-4 in those games, but who cares? :facepalm:

I’m so tired of most of the fan base bragging about popularity and 30+ yr old accomplishments… I’m 33, those yrs mean very little to me. The best yr I ever saw was 2014. #Dezcaughtit Honestly, I’m just waiting for JJ to… ya know… but Stephen seems to be just as stuck in his ways…

Too bad the NFL won’t script us some Super Bowl wins again to take advantage of the TV ratings. It’s like their is a conspiracy to keep the Cowboys down so the ratings aren’t so high in the postseason.

I don't think most of you fully understands what these numbers really mean....

Do you actually believe that everybody, except the opponents fans, who watched that game wanted the Cowboys to win?

For every diehard Cowboy fan out there you will find at least one other that watches the game in the hopes the Cowboys lose, regardless of team affiliation.

I've heard them say it....."I'm not a fan of '_______' (Cowboys opponent), I just want to see the Cowboys lose."

They exist and they are out there. They make up a pretty respectable portion of those viewers.
