A sport like football, and a league like the NFL, is built on icons, highlights, and glory. And the Dallas Cowboys , nicknamed “America’s Team,” carry this identity with pride. With a 12–5 regular-season record in 2023, on January 14, 2024, in the NFL Wild Card Round, the Cowboys were expected to flex their might against the Green Bay Packers .
Jerry Jones watched it all happen. It was a domination, not by the Cowboys but by the Packers. The game ended 48-32, with the Cowboys going down 27-0 at home late in the second quarter. In a new clip from America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys , a Netflix documentary, Jones can be seen wiping away tears after the loss. He said, “Oh, what a disaster. This loss hurt us, in every way, more than anyone we’ve ever had.”
