The Dallas Cowboys didn’t just win in the 1990s—they changed the way NFL dynasties were built. Their championship run wasn’t just about athletic dominance but about the bold personalities who led it. Now, decades later, Netflix is pulling back the curtain on that unforgettable era with its new 10-part docuseries, America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys , arriving August 19.
Jerry Jones ’ daughter drops a brutal ultimatum that could shake up the Cowboys ’ future
This isn’t just another sports documentary. It’s a story of power, pride, and the price of success. Featuring household names like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders, Jimmy Johnson, and Barry Switzer, the series promises never-before-seen footage from the Cowboys' 1990s reign. But more than anyone else, it’s Jerry Jones—the franchise’s owner, general manager, and face of the brand—who takes center stage.
Jones’ daughter, Charlotte, helped drum up buzz with a playful Instagram tease: “Get your popcorn ready!” Yet a moment in the trailer has already stirred controversy. When Charlotte tells her father, “Dad, I don’t know anything about running a football team,” Jones replies with a smile, “Neither do I.” For some, it was a throwaway line. For others, it hinted at a deeper truth behind the Cowboys’ decades-long championship drought.
The documentary takes viewers back to 1989, when Jerry Jones bought the struggling Cowboys and immediately brought in Jimmy Johnson as head coach. Johnson wasn’t just a tactician—he was a master motivator. He drafted key stars like Aikman, Smith, and Irvin and rebuilt a roster that would go on to win three Super Bowls in just four seasons.
Johnson’s impact was profound. “When it comes to moving men, there was no one better than Coach Johnson,” Aikman once stated. Yet, despite the historic success, ego clashes behind closed doors would soon unravel the partnership. After back-to-back Super Bowl victories, Johnson left the franchise—frustrated by Jones’ desire for more control and recognition.
Since then, many fans have pointed to Johnson’s exit as the moment the dynasty cracked. Although Jones built the Cowboys into one of the most commercially successful teams in sports history, the championships stopped coming.
The upcoming series has sparked concern among fans that Jones may use the platform to reshape the narrative—perhaps painting himself as the genius behind the dynasty, rather than the man who disrupted it.
Regardless of how the story is told, the legacy of that era is undeniable. The Cowboys of the '90s weren’t just champions—they were a phenomenon. And as Netflix gets ready to stream their story, old debates are flaring up again. Was it the gambler’s bold vision, or the coach’s football grit, that truly defined America’s Team?
