    The Cowboys are truly “America’s Team”.
    The fact that Cowboy vs. Packers drew more viewers than Sunday Nights Colts vs. Patriots, says it all.

    Yeah, sure, whatever. Everyone knows the Packers are America’s real team. That’s why another Packer game this year was the most watched show EVER on cable and a third Packer game was the most watched game on Fox since 1995. And the Packers-Bears game to start the year was NBC’s highest rated game since Eli vs. Payton in 2006.
