The Cowboys have been the most popular team, at least according to social media. Although they are fond of tradition, the team has continued to evolve and appeal to different generations. In fact, out of the nine most-watched NFL games, 6 of them were Cowboys games.

However, the Cowboys have been far from successful, and never lifted a Super Bowl since 1995. Admittedly, the NFL team has been highly underwhelming in the last decade. In spite of their lack of results on the field, there are still millions of fans who love and support them through thick and thin.

Green Bay Packers

According to Cowherd, the Packers are the 146th biggest market in the United States. In addition to that, they are the only publicly-owned American franchise. The city of Green Bay also has the smallest market in terms of the big 4 American sports.
