Under Jones' leadership, the Cowboys won Super Bowl XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX, corresponding to the 1992, 1993, and 1995 seasons, which, added to those obtained by the franchise in 1971, in the VI edition, and 1977, in the XII, placed Dallas, along with the San Francisco 49ers, as the second-most winning team of the Lombardi trophy.

The above has not influenced the popularity of the franchise known as 'America's Team', which on the 19th of this month will see the premiere of the television series titled 'America's Team: The Gambler and his Cowboys' ('El equipo de Estados Unidos: El jugador y sus vaqueros', which will tell the story of how Jerry Jones has led this team since 1989.
